I am still not finished yet, making some side skirts at the moment and a rear piece also.

looks like it is coming together nicely. Anxious to see the rear and sides put on, it looks kinda funny without them. And are you keeping those rims on there or getting new?

fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!

< language=>I am getting new rims. 17s. More likely some Replica. The rear has to be between 9 and 10 1/2 inch wide so it looks normal. The tires have to be either 275 40R/17 for the 10 1/2 wide rims or 245 45R/17 for the 9 inch wide rims. I got it all figured out. posted_image

SOoooooooo, what your actually saying is....the kit wasnt kittley enought to be in the kittle club? J/K.... um, ok, enough of that. Looks cool. Is that a CF hood? If not, and its the factory steel structure hood, have you thought about taking that front cooling indention on the airdam/grille and fabricating up to match the hood, then finalize it into an intake hole?....in a ram air type construction.... just an idea....it would look sick dude, not many people have the b*lls to do it....one of a kind eh?

Yes, that is a carbon fiber hood. And if you look at my front bumper, there is already a scoop and my CAI and piping leads right to it, so I am WAY ahead of you. posted_image

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, ya got me! The indented scoop looked like it is closed as if its for design and not function, my bad. So you must have the opening going up very close to the hood eh? Either way, looks as if there will be more than plenty of positive air pressure. I didnt notice any specs on your ride....so, GOT BOOST?
