yeh its a aftermarket hood it just a plane TA. and the hood fits poorly i will have to moddify the mounting brackets to get the hood a bit closer to the front bumper how culd you tell anyways?

about the import price you have to ad about 110%
for example lets say that i buy a car for 10k and it is at the shipping port
then its 10.000$ + 2600 (shiping cost to iceland) then you take that 12600$ and ad 45%(customst) and then you take that figure and ad 24.5% (taxes) and then you have the final price. exept some registration fees here in iceland wich are about 300-500$ so the final price of a 10.000$ car wuld be ~23.000$

Real (OEM, from GM) WS6 hoods have a outline (indent, etched in line) around the nostrils...

Car looks AWESOME!!! Congrats!!! Must be cool to cruise around in a rare car... over there at least

Is your leather not perforated? It looks like a solid piece, not like the stocker.

I ordered rims at the same time as i bought the car... problem is that i dont have the key to the OEM lug locks on the old wheels. im thinking of welding bolts on the lug locks and taking them of that way. the new rim set alredy has chrome lugs and new luglocks

You can usually pound a socket on them and take them off that way... you'll probably need 4 of whatever size socket though.

thats tonights mission. i heard that the original key is stored in the middle console (the only place i didnt look) so im going to take a look after work! or selse its either the socket method or my way. the stock lug locks seem to take a socket prety well thoug
