By the way, did your boy ever decide to sell his HRE wheels?
Im not sure, I was thinking about painting the sides to match the car but it doesnt look that bad bare c/f. And I havent talked to the guy with the wheels in a while. If you're definitely interested I can give him a call. Ill probably see him tomorrow night anyway.

Benzzz - Painting the sides along the line from the top corners of your grill to the side view mirrors would compliment your black roof as well as the existing contours of the hood along that area.... would probably look SIIIIIIIIICCCKKKK

I totally agree, your paint scheme will definitely flow nicely.....let me see if I can find some pics of other cars to give you an idea.

Hey bb- I'll shoot you a PM. Yellow BBKs would not look good behind your new shoes. LOL! Pick up some white BBKs

Looking real good guys! Did you guys need to make the same modifications to both hoods in order to make them fit? How about some close up shots of how the hood lines up?

Hopefully you guys hop on the sway bar deal....I sent Freddy the info.

Yes, same modifications on both hoods. Hoods line up pretty well EXCEPT for between the grille and body theres a pretty big gap. Im gonna be very busy this weekend but I'll try to get some pics for your if I get a chance with my cell phone camera. I can judge fitment better after I get the new kit cuz the current bumper never fit very well to begin with.
What sway bars? Ill call Freddy in the morning.
