If you can tell me the best way to get the hood to you, I'll loan you the one off of my TA for the shootout. It's just sitting right now anyway.

Guys who have offered me parts to buy or borrow in this thread and pm's I can't thank you enough!!!!! I was able to pick up a new VFN hood today. It was hot off the press and they gave me a great deal. Only 10 minutes away from me too.

Andy

Wow that damage was crazy, the holes for the turbo piping may have weakened the frame but it looks like it saved the car, I'd be willing to bet if it wasn't for those holes it would have tweaked the entire car worse than it was. Looks like you guys are flat kicking *** on this thing. Kudos and good luck!! Any idea if something caused the car to jerk like it did or was it just a bit too much pull on the steering wheel?
