I'm so mad at myself because its so just not me! I'm like extreme perfectionnist, I'm already thinking about ordering another new hood. And please I don't need stupid comment and sarcasm thrown at me. This post has been edited by Rayme: Oct 17, 2006 - 4:08 PM -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

Here's the hood in the middle of repair (last week).
It actual sounds worst than it is..the damage is minimal, and the winshield didn't crack...it could have been so much worst.   The stuff that looks like duct tape is actually some special body filler for aluminuim, as normal bondo wouldnt stick on it...

the gap isn't really that bad between the stock bumper & the gt-four hood. i'd actually consider just buying the hood then getting the bumper when i get the extra money.
looks good, make sure in the future that hood is secured to the latch

ok I got the car..it looks georgeous!! He made a miracle on the hood!
The only bad side is that the paitn is already chipping on the bumper..I'll have to take it to a pro..for the price I paid(including the hood/hinges/latch work) I can't complain at all. -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |
