Actually the hood that I was thinking of for your car is the one thats on Tim's car. I think it would compliment your body kit nicely. I am not a fan of the stout hood, but on your car CF would be sick!

Respect the work done but i'd never, ever install a body kit. The side skirts look silly and the wheels and wheel wells start to look small from the bulking up appearence that body kits give. I cringe everytime I see one go on. Sorry, it's a peeve of mine. Forgive me.:aigo:;) But again, quality work and hope you enjoy it!:biglaugh:

Obviously you are in the minority here!

This car was a Ride Of The Month last year, that did pretty well in the voting for Ride Of The Year. All he has done is totally disassemble the whole damn car and spend more on paint than most of us paid for our cars. If you had read in the thread, wheels are not yet complete. I doubt I can change your view of body kits (my same view until recently), but the fact is our cars are a perfect platform for them.

I always thought I would be stock bodied, but I saw some sides in person, and they look nicer than in pics. Especially molded in like it was produced that way. Thats when I changed my mind;) I also used to own a Challenger and a Camaro, and swore to anyone there was no way I would be caught dead driving a Jap car:biglaugh: My how things change!!
