ok, ok, the big thing for me is the reason for adding CF bonnet and boot - the weight saving!!
what kind of difference is there weight wise and how lightning fast is the boot opening with all that weight gone?
I believe the bonnet is aluminium which is quite light anyway...

I'd be interested in the actual weight as well compared to OEM.
The CF looks good on black, but I think you should paint it and maybe do some type of blend to leave some exposed CF.
Oh and now that you have a CF hood and bootlid, you got to get some type of CF overlay for the roof. Get the CF emblems too
