it looks like the gap between teh hood and the top of the bumper in the middle is alot larger now though...not sure i like it
and the gap between my lights and bumper needs to get fixed
MY FATHER'S TOY....
that he refuses to let me drive...
wah ha ha ha ha
im such an idiot, the bumper was freshly waxed and the rest of the car wasnt and i just got back from a 700 mile trip so it was dirty as hell.......i didnt realize it was gonna look so diff, nor did i notice when i posted it
yeah it started raining while i was doing it
my car looks like ass up close right now, i'll clean it up and get some nice ones in......maybe hit up the parking deck again for some better background pics
debating about hood pins right now
i'm also trying to figure out how to get the weather stripping on because the holes on the CF hood arent the same size and the clips dont fit
ludecy: i will measure what size it is tomorrow, probably like 5 inches i would guess
do you guys think i sould save up for a CF trunk lid also?!?
Scott man, don't get hood pins bro. I think you'll regret it. They take away from the sleek look of the front end. I promise you, the hood won't go any where. It might look like it, when you're goin 90mph down 85 or 95, but it won't.
As for the weather stripping, I never even took off the stripping from the stock hood. I didn't even think about it. I might look into that tomorrow. I also didnt put the windshield fluid sprayers on the CF hood. I couldnt get the d*mn things off w/o breaking them.
do you guys think i sould save up for a CF trunk lid also?!?
YES! Fvck the spoon bars and get the trunk and some interior shiznit before the show. Imma master at installing shift boots and lowering the shift knob, so get the the TypeR boot and knob and I'll hook you up.

Thanks alot for the comment
Matt: i probably wont do the hood pins
also i got my sprayers off but i will have to drill holes intot the CF hood to put them in, so im not sure about that yet
i also havea shift boot (black with red stitching) and the mugen knob.....i dont think i can go any lower on the shifter with the knob because it bottoms out on the shifter bend already
I've put the weather stripping on my CF hood with no problems, also I may have a solution to help tighten the gap. I'll get in touch after the 4th, Ill be outa Charlotte
