Question 2M GTS Hood - Need some feedback please

Curious about the 2M GTS hood as I have not seen any feedback on it. Mostly seen posts and threads about the RW Carbon GTS hood which is a hit or miss so I have ruled Then out.

Here is what I am looking for:

1. Accurate feedback on fitment and finish from someone who bought and installed this (not a vendor but an actual customer).

2. Can I install it myself once it is painted? I have installed enough OEM hoods and trunks without issues. Asking if this needs any sanding, etc to make it fit or is it pretty much bolt on.

3. Is it preferable to get double sided CF even though the hood needs to be painted? Is one better than the other when it comes to painting (FRP vs CF)?


Here is a picture I found on the forum from auto talent.

Thanks.

PM Justin from Auto Talent and ask him yourself. I'm positive he'll give you his honest opinion about the 2M GTS hood.

Me? For the GTS hood, I say OEM or nothing.

Already did. OEM is a little too expensive. So many more things I can spend 5k on.

Honest opinion? I am local to them so they painted and installed my hood. The fitment is pretty good, they will most likely adjust your fender and bumper to make it align closer. But they did very horrible paint job on my frozen black hood, I am actually taking the car back on Monday have them repainting it.
