Honestly, its NOT a direct replacement.
The headlights don't fit right and required new healight brackets to be made. Also, modified the new hood to fit better. Underneath is all different. Required all new trays and underneath panels that had to be modified to fit the existing brackets. The two fenders bolted right up and the bumper bolted up but the fit required a LOT of work. Fortunately, Dave and his crew at the shop are outstanding and made it all work.
I can't begin to explain the number of hours and special modifications its taken to get it where it is. There has been one body specialist(Ed) who has been working on the car for five straight weeks non stop and sometimes weekends and overtime.
The final product is absolutely breath taking.
When you see it finished and detailed its incredible.
Thanks for all the kind words.

There's some amazing work here, I have to ask why not cast a black series style hood that would fit the previous gen headlights.
Of course its your hard earned cash, and your aesthetic taste, but the hood, even when functional just makes me think more of a wrx or its GTA equivalent in terms of aesthetic design.
