I agree I think white with cf looks ******* but I also think completley blacked out looks good too, the last 2 vehicles I've owned have been black on black haha just what I end up landing on

not a fan. from some of the shots in the shade it looks too plain. no hood scoop and no emblem just makes it look weird to me, like its missing more than just those two. if only you can get a fmic into the mix

Btw plain and sleeperish is the goal, besides less police interest without all the fixins... Matter of fact almost everytime I get pulled over they have to ask what kind of car it is

id figure you'd have a fmic. cant really rock the rs hood without one. its been done but not very smart to do so. i get the concept of the sleeper/anti "all show no go" thing. your setup just doesnt look right to me. if you wanted to keep the cops off your tail, a cf trunk and hood are probably not the best way to go. also debadging the front doesnt help either. i could understand if you went with a non-cf rs hood with a black fmic to keep it sleeperish, but a cf hood kinda defeats the purpose. ive seen cf hoods on badass subies, but your car doesnt have enough done to it to claim that title, nor does it look stock enough to be a true sleeper.
i know you wanted good and bad comments, so take my comment however you want. so far, im the odd man out not liking the hood. i wanted to be detailed in my opinion as possible instead of saying, "i dont like it"
btw, if plain and sleeperish are the goals, why were you pulled over the 2-3 times? speeding? reckless driving? fail to yield to pedestrians? not to be a *****, but just curious

Mostly front lisence plate. Or exhaust, and just because I don't have visible mods really doesn't mean there is not anything done to the car, matter of fact the car was last dynoed at 340whp and for the non subie crowd or someone that knows subies I would expect them to see a rs hood and assume non turbo... That's just me, I like how it looks hence the reason it's my car

I think we all can agree and relate to that statement
