i'm gonna see if the hood bra still works on it. the lil' frame that latches on all the corners might hold it but yeah. might be a chance it prob wont stick on hood. oh wells. maybe i can bring it to a vancouver fitfreak meetup and see if i can sell it for cheap.

thanks for the advice about saving the rubber stoppers.. i wonder if JDP ran into simular problems installing during his 'test' prototype??

some type of shrinkage an warping can not be avoided unless you go hi-tech like vac forming and other molding an curing techniques

drove the fit downtown Chicago earlier and it turned a few heads... have to admit, it has become quite a looker just by adding the hood B)


here's one pic I thought was funny... it looked like it has mad riced rear wing from that toysRus sign in the back draft...
