ARGH! Estimator emailed today saying "waiting on new hood rod to arrive, fixing flaw in paint. Hope to have it done by WED."
BLEH! I've made 3 payments on it while in their possession.

SHE'S HOME!
A couple of issue remain though. The paint over all is very nice. New paint on everything but the bumpers. WTF IS THAT? There's even paint/over spray on the damn inside of the passenger side windows! Looking at those pictures now, you can see how the paint doesn't match at the rear quarters to the bumpers.
They some how didn't get any clear on the edge of the spoiler furthest to the rear (the part someone behind you would be staring at). 95% of the spoiler looks good, but some other paint oddities. (I can spot the tiniest ****!)
The hood fitment is a lil off. The whole thing looks cockeyed looking straight on. There are inconsistent gaps between the grill/hood & hood/fender:
I'm mostly pleased, but disappointed with the bumpers now. They want it back to fix the issues in a few weeks.

Thanks. Already done. Had a closed road with a professional driver take it up to 130 last night.
I can get better pictures yea, but you can't get the same hood/spoiler combo! Of all the ones I've seen, no one has that combo!
I've seen SW hood/spoiler combo, but not this spoiler ($79 ebay special).

Sorry, I didn't clean up the interior after working in it all afternoon. I did wash the outside. Vacuum tomorrow . . .
I am having a lil binding feeling trying to get into 6th. All other gears are nice & smooth. Love it!
Stock height, short throw, custom thread for custom shift ****, broken/tattered boot. Photos by my woman:
Also installed my K&N CAI Friday night. The tablet I'm thinking of using to replace the stock stereo arrived & picked it up on Saturday. Will install radar detector/amp for sub soon.

Can't believe they didn't do the bumpers and rocker moldings. It's very obvious that it doesn't match. That hood is definitely misaligned.... I wouldn't accept it that way. I sure hope they fix all these issues for you. Good luck.
