The Vorsteiner Race Hood is a new generation hood that only maintains the outer vents - I wanted to be different. The vents are in 2x2, and I'm going to leave the underside of the hood exposed CF in 2x2. So you get the idea - carbon fiber is a good thing to me.
Of course there's the carbon fiber on my monobloc 6 piston BBK. When the rears come out in monobloc I'm replacing those too to match the fronts.
Here's a photoshop of the hood (vents are a little bigger and positioned slightly further back) - the hood will also have a slightly larger Power Dome.

Thanks. Here's a slightly better rendering (although still terrible pshop) of the hood with the vents setup next to the powerdome where they will actually be situated. I think it looks much better. Vorsteiner is my sponsor and we were discussing my car and felt this suits it much better. I couldn't agree more.
Here's also the seats I'm getting. The rear is of course 2x2 CF.

I like the Pole Positions but these are the newest version and I like how it narrows on the top (headrest). I don't have the exact weight yet but obviously they're a fraction of the weight of the OEM seats which also have the seat belts built onto them. I'm looking for a nice roll bar that I can have covered in black nappa leather and that isn't too big - it's got to aethetically be right, otherwise a harness bar. I'm still looking - otherwise I'd have them.
I really like this hood best. I agree, I think the other belongs on a track car or a coupe, or at least not mine.
