Looks great.

Two suggestions though:
1. Lower that pig.
2. Make sure you replace that missing lower fascia below the radiator before you do any high speeds.

It didn't have it when I got it where can I get one? Is the hood going to fly off?

I'd have to do some digging to find that part, but from what I've read the hood starts to "billow" at a certain speed.

are you referring to the plastic shroud that connected from the front bumper to the k member?

MY car was lowered so maybe thats why my hood didnt move.

I'm scared to lower it, I don't want to bottom out on speed bumps.

The issue I had was with that piece missing the inner fender blew out at 150ish. Probably because they all hook in together at the front of the fender liner.

did you replace it? My inner fenders are all chewed up and or missing. Is it worth replacing?

Nope never did and the car has a new owner now. 95% of people never would notice and I'm not sure if it made my hood or car "more unstable" but I'm sure it's not a good idea to make 160mph pull with parts of the car's areodynamics missing...But then I did and the hood never flew off nor did the car come off the road.

Mine was missing all the little parts underneath. It was about 250 for all the parts from the Caddi man.

Really tightened the front bumper up alot.
