The guys labor rate isnt that bad at all, and price of materials is relatively low.. You can always take the hood off to work on the car..

take the hood off the car? ugh.

i dont have any negative opinions towards having a reverse hood for looks or whatever, but i'm all about making my cars easier to work on. i dont wanna have to yank my hood or climb around it to do things that were simple the other way around.

i have found in the 5 years i've owned this car that every mod i've made that's caused less convenience or discomfort i ended up removing in the end. my car has gradually come up in height, exhaust has gotten quieter, wheels have gotten smaller. my engine bay (as most of you know) has changed something like 10 times, and i've sacrificed power for it. the clutch might come out next as well.

before you make any modification you should ALWAYS consider the cons just as much or more as the pros of doing it in the first place.

i love my car to death, but i wouldnt mind having a stock one, either.

I had it once on another car, but it would get hung up when the car transformed into the robot.
