Do you have a hood?

Hood is going back on soon, waiting on hood struts. Should be on later this week. As for air filter, I have the rest connected now. Runs under the passenger side headlight.

Thank you! Means a lot. Takes time but it’s all worth it in the end.

Took it to one of the larger European car shows in the Midwest yesterday, won top 16! Also replaced the thermostat, and installed NRG hood dampers earlier this last week. The dampers work great, and fit great. Hood sits perfectly flush. No complaints . (Hood was half popped in the pic)

I used an angle grinder very carefully... when I bent down the metal to create the vent, it put a lot of stress on the metal and created a lot of waviness on the hood. It took a lot of body work to make it perfect. *also, haven’t posted on here in a while. The car was photographed for the supeestreet magazine a month or so ago, and should be in the next issue. Very excited!*
