Looks AWSOME Alan ! As far as the gap on the left, have you tried loosening the bolts and just finesing (sp?) it a bit? If you have and it still wont budge you can always dremel the holes on your hinges bigger so you can slide it either way. Thanks again Alan and im glad your happy

^ the Z on your trunk lid is crooked by 1 degree...i can't believe you drive that thing around in public... why is it that everyone on this site only points out the faults on people's cars, no matter how minor...people want to make their cars unique, which means not everyone will like it, but keep it to yourself

alan, your car looks great...i was looking at that same hood...glad the fitment worked out...i don't even notice the "gap" on the left...i bet it looks awesome in person...post pics of the jp kit ASAP

That's what you're going to get if you ask "What do you think"... I am just stating my opinion. I always welcome constuctive criticism towards my car, so I can waste more time and money on it

I think it would look even better painted, but that is just me.
