looks good
Getting "better built" for the '08...
Hate to say it, I kinda liked the cleanliness of the car without it
.
Nice hood though.
Thats a kickass hood. The tape advertising on the window is hilarious. Looks good though.
Nice hood. CaviGirl2003 is cool.....I bought her sideskirts a year or two ago & she gave me a great deal. She shipped them really quick, too.
So... did u drive with the hood off to pick it up?
I've been debating if I should do that or bring a truck when I get Jux's hood in a couple weeks
Damn, I just re-read it. Yup, u did drive hoodless... hmm...
Looks nice, however, the tape job was probably not needed, I have no hood pins and my hood is held on by the latch only and ive been on the track with it, the hood pins help, but I dont think they are necessary.

actually not to sound mean but you couldnt have been more wrong on that one. i watched while driving with it taped and it did not move or rise up at all. I got home, took it off. went for a quick spin, and the hood was grabbing air above the headlights and lifting on it and rattling it. that was at 60. on the interstate traffic was moving along at 80 most of the time so i would rather play it safe than sorry. that or i could have taken what i paid for it and burned the cash. since i didnt have the hood pins yet i put some bolts in there that act just like the pins and it doesnt lift because the front is held down better. again not trying to sound like a jerk but the tape was necessary.
thanks for the comments. as far as ruining the clean look. i dont know if i want to paint some or not. i dont think i will because i like the CF look. i have the CF front bowtie but just need to figure out how to attach it again because the glue that came on it didnt stick. but something looks off with the front where the bowtie goes. like that could be black. i dunno but i really like it.
She is excellent to deal with like i said the whole hood pin thing. shes the one who suggested it instead of saying, you need to buy a new hood pin kit.
And yup hoodless there. which is not legal but i didnt have any problems with cops or anything. Its illegal in IL and MN.
Thanks so far.
Very clean. I've always loved your car.
I had something really funny to put here but it was too long.
Looks hot man!, wheres the pink stickers? you mean you didn't keep em on!, lol
Love the way the hood looks
I'm glad it went to a good owner... I have your hood pins waiting and ready to be mailed they should be there fairly fast... We broke the post taking the pins off my car and if I sell a hood with pins and I break one taking them off yeah it's my job to pay for the replacement
Looks sweet, goes great with the colour of the car, and fits the style of the car with that razzi kit. I think you need some new rims though.

get some different bumpers and sides and HOT...
and btw... wtf is sunset orange? its sunburst!
15.1@90.34mph
yeah i thought it was sunburst metallic also, but damn that hood is nice and i was right behind you on that one! you just happened to PM her first!!! my search continues, but your car is awesome vince!
yes makes me want to get that hood again and will probably get it. Not get some black rims with a chrome or polished lip and it will set if off even more. Two thumbs up man beautiful car.
lookin great man. i've never had a problem without having hood pins on my car, but i have felt a little strange cruisin on the highway at 80 and seeing the edges of the hood up above the fenders. dave2uniq and i thought our hoods were popped open so we pulled over on the way to the 05 bash to check. then we realized we were stupid and it was just the air catching it lol.
whole car looks great, i agree with R3D05LsSport about the rims, but other than that, great job with it.
My c/f hood has seen 130mph multiple times, no hood pins needed.
Looks good though.

thanks, i agree on the rims. i have had these rims for about 4 years now. they were on my old car when i was in the accident. They are rough but still a perfect circle. so they work for now. i dont know what i want for new ones but i wouldnt mind getting some.

I plan on doing razzi front and rear again. i like the kits that leave the bowtie piece on the front. so far i only know of 2 off hand just because i havnt looked into them. Im def not getting the same sides, the new ones i want have to be urethane because im so low. and the razzi dont match the razzi kit.
and sorry it is Sunburst Metallic Orange II to be exact haha.

like i said i dont know what i want for rims but they will be 17's again for sure. id like to go 18's but i would just remount the tires i have on there now. im thinking the MSR 190's like ive seen several people on here have. that or some other simple 5 spoke.

Kinda scary isnt it? i dont really trust it 100% on a hood hinge. and besides it already had pins, i trust pins and a latch a lot more.
