If it's like tint just use alot of soapy water and slide the film in place. Then use a credit card or squigey(SP) and work the water from the middle out.
Hope this helps.

not to hijack the thread, but what hood is that? I was looking at the Extreme Composites hood w/o extractors, but that looks sick too...

Ramair- sorry man i dont really know, i bought the car with this hood on it. fit and finish is terrible and i need to re-prep and spray it entirely






well headlights and foglights are done, and turned out great! the CCW's should be back soon with the flat black finish and my friend might be able to powdercoat my stockers for me tonight.




i think the tail lights turned out pretty good as well, i just had a friend paint those instead of using the armor

people that dont know about a car in which they own, whether they bought it like that or not, are morons, PERIOD.

Back on track....

It is a speckter works or extreme composites (both companies make similar style hoods) vented non-cowled hood

The wing can be had from alot of different vendors, cheapest probably being ebay.

brentman can you read (or any of you for that matter)?

I said both companies make similar style hoods, which they do.

Both companies make a cowl hood, and a vented one. Apparently thats a spectr works, by which the question should of been answred by the cars owner, not me via a small picture.

your response y2k....is one like "well i didnt read half the contract cause I was more concerned with the 1st half"

how could you not be 100% aware of your 50,000 vehicle? **** i know what kind of bug is on the passenger side foglight

what i am saying is it is clearly a spector werkes hood and you sir look like the dumbass and that calling people morons when you don't know them at all.

and yes I can read you took a guess at two hoods and one of your two guesses was right and the other could have went without saying because it looks nothing like the EC hood


You are dumb
Google or Me > YOU


Now sell me your eibachs for a super cheap price and we can all get over this little scuffle with no hard feelings LOL



Lets proove my point for fun

Who thinks these look alike????

maybe because im more concerned about going fast.... making the car look good is just a perk. You seem like Mr. E-hardass to me, LMAO with your stock motor car.



BTW how is it a 50,000 dollar vehicle when they are selling for low to mid 20's
