That hood looks real cool, and I also like the Angel lights....It aing gonna be easy to paint over that hood...It would probably look good on My car "Designo Mocha Black.

I hate when that happens!!!

If you need a oil cooler from an S65 I have a spare one (bigger than the S55) let me know!

Car is coming along nicely. I did the same thing to my exhaust

This whole situatiom sucks! I could not see myself without full coverage insurance even myself being from the ghetto of Dallas/Ft Worth area.

See it as an opportunity to upgrade to aftermarket parts you wanted.

good work so far man keep it up. But there's always something about depo headlights and their fitment, they leave too much gaps around the hood

The depo fog lights I got are close but no cigar as far as fitment is concerned...
