Fresh out of the paint booth! I was running out of daylight but I managed to snap a quick iPhone pic.

Still needs a roundel. Will do better photo shoot in the near future.

I have to say I am warming up to it, but probably not enough to get one As is the case of the car itself, it REALLY depends on the angle you are seeing it. For example, I dislike the view from the quarter angle pic, yet I like the one from the side view!

I actually like it more than I thought I would. I had my reservations. If you look at in the context of the whole car it looks good. The fit/finish is perfect as you would expect. It looks even better in person. Had tons of compliments.

The thing is, the hood swap takes 20mins total. Very easily reversed. I think that it probably should have came with it and was meant for the 1M but for whatever reason, the marketing/engineering/finance department didn't make it happen. Much like actual open functional side vents.

BTW, loving the Eisenmann Sport!
