I'm not too sure about the PCH cruise... It depends on what I'm doing that Saturday...
I am however, doing the Immortals Ultimate Halloween cruise the weekend of Halloween.

Well thats just the trade off of getting an aftermarket fiberglass hood... body shop didn't charge me the extra 8 hrs labor they had to do to make it fit right.

The whole reason I got the front end painted was someone backed into my car on 8/8/05 and the insurance FINALLY kicked in... and its been 3 weeks since I dropped her off at the body shop.

Well I didn't have them paint them red, because they were silver to start with...


I guess I just forgot to tell them to keep the vents silver. Still looks good!

Nice choice. Way better-looking than the factory ram air hood.
