The hood install wasn't bad however it doesn't seem to install properly, there is ALOT of tension on the hood latch...

I didnt have a hard time with the lip, I bent the polyurethane bumper like you guys suggested. Im thinkin of posting a diy?

It was also a great oppurtunity for spraying my pipes and undercarriage with 409 cleaner and wiping it down my pipes with mothers metal polish. for some reason my pops and I have a hard time communicating though? Maybe my spanish isnt teh best lol

Enough rambling here's a pic of the finish product:

Im leaving the tape on for the rest of the day, the double sided tape should be set by morning. ill clean her up tomorrow.

I'm gonna use 3M tape for the middlesection and screws/rivets for the 2 sides maybe a few brackets for underneath for extra support..
LMFAO.. ur a funny guy...

I'm still thinking between a C-West CF lip or going the Nismo V3 front bumper route. Damn those lips look good!
