I already have a carbon fiber splitter going on the front, planning to black out the grills and wheels and the chrome window trim carbon fiber wrap. I think this hood would really make the finishing touch.

Again I really appreciate everyone's feedback on this!!
The M5 fenders have an air vent with the M badge on it. The regular non M 5 series don't have that air vent. To find basic fenders and then paint and swap costs a few pretty pennies. Well I see what u did with the Monte so I feel your style. Good luck with whichever route you choose.

Carbon fiber it is, looks sic, can't see you rolling around in a OEM looking car, especially one as built as yours is, it just would not be right...

I guess I like it if it is functional. Is this CTS-V really a "sleeper"? Only to the ignorant...

Thanks everyone, I have decided to go ahead and purchase the hood. It will be a month to a month and a half till I receive it but I'm in no big rush anyway with winter here.

I have a vision for the car that I'm trying to chase and hopefully I am successful. I did the sender with turbo monte and I'm very pleased with its outcome.

I'm not planning to go wild with body modifications on the V like I did the monte but there will be subtle changes made. The biggest change being the hood.

The car will have all the get up it needs with the round of mods I am wrapping up so the hood will fit with the mods nicely I think.

Habbibie, I see your point and I respect your opinion and respect what you want to do with yours, a sleeper is awesome and always will be. It's just for me I like turning heads with looks along with performance. Changing your fenders will throw everyone off, perfect sleeper mod for sure!
