EL Snagadore,

I'm not familiar with "matte" as far as carbon fibre goes... but I am familiar with "dry carbon" (easy on the resin). Are we talking about the same thing? Because I was somewhat distraught (coming from the rally car days of old) that no one was producing dry carbon parts for the Raptor.
Correct, Dry and Matte same process.

**UPDATE**
Apparently the first order of hood and side vents are done. I am waiting for a final shipping cost then i will have a final per set cost. Order 2 will be done Oct 10th they said. SO I will start getting things sorted out and reaching out to people. Also I f'kced up the customs form on the mirror replacements and trying to get that fixed. I have never sent anything to Europe and did something wrong. USPS waited a month to let me know something was wrong and needed attention to fix it. But the other items are wrapping up and should start sending soon. Thanks

Has anyone that received the 1st run of hood and fender replacements have anything to share regarding fit, helpful hardware tips, pictures, etc.?
I am excited to receive my order but mildly apprehensive not hearing anything for sometime now.

No this is the first run, Well, There were 4 I had that 4 people on here got, 2 of them posted other threads with them in it. I honestly don't think they were installed on 3 of them. I think they were waiting or building their trucks. The pictures I have on this thread are the exact ones installed. The fender vents just have to be straight and pushed in with equal force from the center. They are not plastic so the tabs wont bend like stock. The hood is 6 bolts and tabs along with double sided sticky tape. I am putting a set I have here on the black raptor so I will take photos or videos when I get a chance to put them on.
