it finally came.. my carbon fiber vented hood from turbo5 via vortrag. it was sitting in this warehouse in newark nj for the past 3 and a half weeks! i opened the box which was in pretty bad shape..

its carbon fiber thats been gelcoated white.. donny's is gel coated red.. strange huh?

well.. it might take me a little while to get used to the way this thing looks.. its a little "ricey", but im sure i'll learn to love it..
oh, i forgot to mention.. THIS ISH IS LIGHT AS F*CK! almost too light! it feels really brittle and fragile.. hope after i get it installed i dont come across any flying rocks or debris!

at Petit LeMans we were standing behind the Audi pits, and they had two rear covers for the R8s laying in the paddock (which is basically the whole rear end of the car). No one was looking, so Christian Long and I discreetly reached down and started to lift one up; of course we used too much force thinking it weighed at least 50lbs...we almost threw it up head-high. It was SICK.
