Anyone know if we need anything for the hood swap? Rodgers suggested a rear seal and something about vin break point on hood latch?

I was going to ask the same... Seems like a lot of people are having a hard time color matching these, my paint guy had to do mine twice to get itjust right.

Thank you very much! These cars look amazing.
I think this is what your asking for. (these are more pics of PyrObOy's (Josh) car I took this past weekend while down racing in Fontana)

Thanks, and i hate to trouble you again but I meant a picture of the entire car from the side. Do you perhaps have a shot of that?

Thank you for your help so far!

Has anyone with the bumper mounted already had any approach angle problems? More so than with the stock fascia?

It already clears the stocker, and the insert drain is not in that area.

National Back order, Meaning vendor needs to make more, they then go strait to production.
Now that the actual car is in First phase of production.
Most likely everything from here out, anything showing No available stock will need a S.P.A.C. order..... Requiring a VIN for Priority.

It was fun while it lasted. lol

Good news is parts will become available... eventually.
