Get the CF one...they look hot on DSG, and black cars! All you need to do is get it clear coated and put a set of hood pins in and your set. I've seen a few in person and they look amazing. I put a friends CF cowl hood on my car to see how it looked...he almost didnt get it back from me!

Lance, I know they come pre clear coated, but VIS themself recomends that you have it cleared again since it's such a thin coat. Our shop deals with them directly and is very close with the owners and they have always said to have it re-cleared prior to install.

I did'nt have it done and it looked awesome after being on there almost a year.If I would have kept the GT I was going to have it painted though.
