That is going to look killer. Why does picking rims have to be so hard?

Hey Freddy the wheels didnt sell on ebay. You wanna buy em? Ill sell em CHEAP! $1800. You know the condition man. You will need new front tires though. Gimme a price for your wheels and Ill call Julian and we can do a 3 way deal/exchange. You know you want the CHROME lip! Lemme know! Wickedbodies is giving me the runaround man. They keep saying they'll call me back with the tracking number but they never call. When I call them back they say "we are sure it got sent out last week but our computers are down and I cant get you a tracking number"

lowphat- we're the ballers? You're the one with Lorinser kit, kleemann s/c, Brembo Gran Turismo BBK, HRE's AND LM5's, jl audio system... shall I go on? Lets trade!

Got my hood. Thanks to Freddy for coming over and helping out with the install. Guys this is not a direct fit. Required some minor modifictaions (sanding/grinding) and still doesnt close perfectly. I weighed the hood using a scale at home and it weighs 22.4 pounds! So now my whole front end is aftermarket and saves quite a bit of weight. Now I just need to fit the grill in there (doesnt fit right) and I ordered a flat hood emblem and then I will take and post pics. Next up: new wheels on thursday!

Congrats, sounds like its coming together real nice!! Are you planning on painting the hood or just leaving the c/f exposed?

By the way, did your boy ever decide to sell his HRE wheels?
