no problem man. the hood looks mean.... told ya it is a royal PITA.... but there is nothing like the look of this hood man.....
i'm getting mine painted very soon. I wanted to make sure it didn't spider web around the dzus plates prior to getting it painted. tell your painter to put plenty of flex agent in the paint as well.... cuz these hoods are pretty flimsy....
Oh BTW, it looks like your missing one dzus plate down on each side.... i noticed 4 but you have a good distance in between the first one down near the headlight and the next one. any plan on installing one more?????
