You have no idea how much I'm not looking forward to putting holes for hood pins into this hood. It's really hard to photograph because it's got a thick clear coat over the CF making it ridiculously shiny.
It's glass-like appearance means I just can't shake the fear that it'll crack when I push a drill bit through it. |

Setup my own insurance policy now as a married man. It's nice to have that discount now since my insurance went from $600 to $440!
Car is coming out to play April 1st. 5 more days

Wasn't planning on it yet but these popped up for sale. Going to scavenge the LCI eyebrows for my headlights project. Glad I found them so cheap, I was expecting to spend significantly more to do this

Wow, those prices make me wonder if I should buy backups for the future.

They were ripped from my old halogen to bi-xenon retrofits I did years ago.

Looking forward to that! I'm happy with my mounting, but would totally consider an upgrade! Quote:
No attachment! Just grab the bits and chuck em up! I got SC4 bits, and they have worked perfectly for all kinds of stuff- I'll definitely be getting more when I finally wear these out!

Today we cut into the car and mounted Jay's flares. Very happy with how close they fit as a starting point. now to sand, fiberglass and mold these on to be seamless. It's amazing how sturdy these are. after bolting them down you wouldn't even know they're fiberglass when giving them a pull. Very confident in the construction of these |
