New pics, video clip, and CF hood question

Here's a little video I shot with a new camcorder mount I was testing out. Drove around Angeles Crest with it mounted on the driver's door. I also had it on the hood and trunk but too many people started waving and giving me weird looks :P

Also, does this look like rice? Leave it or put the stock one back on?

Should leave the hood on and blackhouse your corners.

Is your hood made by VIS or Seibon? I've always planned to get a CF hood but wasn't sure about the fitment and whether or not the latch will be secure enough. I really prefer not to use hood pins if I can. Your car looks nice like that. You don't have to do anything else. I am planning to paint over a CF hood if I ever get one. Just to keep my car looking like a sleeper.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I read all the comments.

I should have stated this before, but the hood is carbon fiber and is made by VIS. The clearcoat has faded so I need to reclear it.

I have mounted the camera on the hood, both sides of the car, and on the trunk while driving. Some of the looks and waves from people were priceless. Unfortunately it fell off my car while driving on the freeway so I have to pick up another mount :lol:

Also, I agree with everyone who said to blackout the corners. Not sure how I'd do that, but I'll def look into it. Either that or swap them out to the stock headlights so they match..

Looks like it needs to be lowered alittle lower, but that's just me.
