Overall nice!

Rob he's right Evan, the Stafford rail does look sweet compared to stock - nice and polished. I am thinking about getting it to go with my polished Intake and Hypermotive front strut bar. I think it will bring out the Carbon Fiber nicely I can't deny it looks much better than stock, but I'm not looking to modify any Performance components as long as I'm under warranty However, I'd like to see your engine bay once you get all that Carbon Fiber installed

I have it turned that way for a couple reasons. For some reason the hood was too tight on it, actually pushed on it, and I couldn't seem to get it adjusted anymore. Also the logo is visible this way, which doesn't really matter, and the opening is facing the fan, which might help with cooler air in the summer, maybe? But the main reason was clearing the hood for some reason,...

For some reason there was quite a gap between the hood and the latch when it closed as far as it could. I happen to like how it turned out though, looks really sweet.
