It's holding up well...

Minus the clear coat.

Clear coat has some damage to it...

At least it can be fixed by wetsanding and re-clearing.


You could spend some time cleaning up the engine bay with some simple green.

Did you have to pay taxes on the online purchase for the hood?

I'm not sure on how it works but sometimes I have purchased things online if the company wasn't in my home state...I wasn't getting charged taxes.

Since this won't be your daily driver.

Are you going to be removing some of the interior or lightening the vehicle in any way?

i went through ebay bc the hood was $25 cheaper and it was a well know seller with all positive feedback and one neutral. i didnt pay tax, but ive read that if their selling the product in your home state u have to pay tax.


i will not remover anything as of now bc im gonna drive it, dyno it stock and take it to the track stock to see what i have to start with. when it turns into my fully track car ill take out most of the luxury items.

When you do, weigh some of the stuff so we can get an idea, like the TL diet thread over in the 3G section.
