Thanks alpina and mrhollow for pics & info. Might mod my scoop after all.

Recieved & installed 20mm spacers today. Actually for the front but i wanted to see how they sat before ordering 25mm for the back. Might leave them on the rear and find like 15mm for the front.

 

Ordered a 4th brake light, looks like it should be the perfect size to fit in the usdm mugen rear.

Finally installed my NST Lightweight Crank Pulley. It was a total b*tch to install. Took me way too long (as usual). Let the engine idle for a while, revved it a little, then took it for a drive. Worked great, only issue is some rattling or scraping was happening. Took off the wheel and fender again and took a look, but I didn't notice a thing. Pulley looks a little out of balance but I don't think that's the issue. Maybe the alternator is loose? I loosened it a little bit to make the serpentine belt easier to put on. Overall for the difference it makes (so far) it isn't worth it. Also keep in mind I got this pulley and an Ultra Racing Rear Strut Bar for $100 shipped, so it's worth it to me lol. Let me know if you guys know a solution to this problem, or any other issues you have with lightweight crank pulleys. Thanks

 

i've seen these around and on people's cars. i'm not too impressed. I love the idea, however this is just a bad china product. still looking for a cheap OEM version from other manufacturers..

 

I want to get one and use it as a fog light
Only issue is fitting it to the existing fog light circuit as that's all hidden away behind plastic and stuff

 

fawk. i got my jdp hood and it has damage on the left side....

 

I figure its cheap enough to experiment with. Its the only one thats small enough to fit in our mugen ass that i can find.. Most are too tall to fit in that middle black section

 

What is wrong with it? How bad?

Pics.

 

pretty bad

 

Damn that sucks dude. I hope he makes it right.

 

Damn.
I hate to see that and I hate knowing how hard it was to get and how much you were looking forward to it.

Was it done during shipping? Was it insured?

Tell John what happened. I can pm you his number if you need it.

 

please pm me. i called the one on the website but he hasnt returned my call yet.

 

i hope so too

 

Looks like shipping damage... That sux

Hopefully it's sent insured.. I want to buy the duckbill in Carbon fiber and worry something like this could happen

 

when i got my cf duckbill, it was sent thru solely via ups. he sent my hood thru TNT express (exactly) who then forwarded to UPS. which one did the damage who knows.

 

Was that area padded well enough? Maybe john just didnt do a great just with the packaging...

 

That for sure looks like shipping damage, are you planning on keeping it CF?

 

My carbon duck bill came nicely packaged and there was no damage at all. But if you read back to the early jdp threads about his hoods you'll see that a couple ppl have had this same problem. Sux nonetheless but hopefully he'll make it right
