Very nice.

Question, since you have driven it with the new vented hood.

Does it feel any different?

Example, I know on the highway, the front end feels to me like it floats a bit.

BLU DUCE · 06-14-2015, 01:13 PM

Drove it this morning on the interstate for the first time. To me it don't feel any diff.

Demon War Horse · 06-14-2015, 08:13 PM

Damn! Sweet build! How do you like the front end cover? Does it rub the paint at all?

Pulled the car into diner parking lot this morning. Driving slow. Dropped the right front into a pot hole & ripped a hole in the bra. Didn't do any damage to the splitter.

Oh wow... That still hurts though. At least it was a good sacrifice!

Took my hood back off the car I was over whelmed after I installed it. When I first open the hood again And looked at the bottom of the TL1 insert I was shocked to see the white of the fiber glass. So I took and painted it flat black what a difference. Didn't like the looks of my old hood liner so I ordered a new one should be here tomorrow. Then put every thing back on tomorrow hopefully.
