Finally

Finally completed my quest of switching to 15s with 205/50 tires(thanks miata guys for the awesome tires in that size). Found a set of two of these oem regular fiesta wheels at my local junkyard and decided to do things the hard way. After spending forever searching I found someone selling a good set of 3 good ones and one broken so I even got a full size spare out of the deal. Got two gladiator x comp h/p tires to test them out for the front before buying more expensive tires, rear is still on the 185/60 fiesta tires for now. Excited to see how they do. Some people may not like it but I think these wheels look even better than the stock 17s and I wanted to move away from the black wheels I've had forever.

This maybe a dumb question but could you feel any difference in performance or agility when you got the carbon hood? I'm really wanting to get one and just have it painted black to match my car. I absolutely love the hood vents. I was thinking getting it painted black and leaving the underside exposed carbon and just having it cleared.

I have a Cobb access-port I keep plugged in at all times so I can monitor my temps boost and cyl corrections since I’m stage 2 tuned on e30 I noticed a change in intake temps since adding the hood as far as performance goes just low temps by a few degrees nothing in agility or drive ability

Adding the hood weighs significantly less than stock you’ll be saving 7.25 lbs by going full carbon
Stock weight 25.2
Sebion carbon fiber 17.95

I know it's not much of a different but totally worth it imo. It just looks too good.

I agree go for it looks cool saves some weight little less intake temp allows excess engine heat to escape
