Well like most of you know i just about finished the exterior project on my car.

So today i take it to get my door poppers installed. I get there and find out that the guy that does that installation isn't going to show up. Anyway i start heading to work and as hop onto the freeway and i shift into 3rd gear my hood slams into my windshield! I panicked for about half a second until i noticed that i could see the road....(the reason it popped open is b/c we all know that the USDM celi's latches DONT hook on properly to the GT4 hood so i opened it for the guys at the shop as soon as i arrived, before even talking to anyone).. k back to the freeway.. so what seems like forever for me to pull over which was probably only like 1/8-1/4 of a mile i get out to close the hood. Then as i grab the hood i hear and feel my heart, soul, and my hood cracking and popping! As i bring it down to eye level there is a HUGE dent in the center of it... *tear comes to eyes* I try to close it cuz now I'm just pissed off! and the hood won't hook on. This was not turning into a good morning. So i force it to close and i just floor it to work. NOT giving a RATS BUTT about anything i didnt care if i messed up my front bumper from all the rocks being kicked up by other cars. I get to work and i am just pissed off and sad at the same time. I pop my hood (which took me awhile) then i start punching the dent out. I got a good portion on it out but there is still more damage to my poor baby.... no shows for me any time soon. I will put pix up later. I dont want to, but i DON'T feel good.

yeh thats what i did to my latch. i had somone weld a longer catch on. so now i know when the hood is poped and when its shut.

sorry to hear about what happened.


btw, what front lip is that. is it from the 96-99 kit or 94-95? do you know what had to be done to get it to fit right with the gt4 bumper?
