Default Just got my VFN hood

Well I got my VFN hood installed today. It goes out to have the whole front end of the car repainted on monday. The spoiler will also be painted. I have an SLP insert that will be painted to match everything else. It will be 2 weeks or so before I come home to get pictures of the car so be patient! LOL! As far as the fit goes, I aligned it enough to get it to shut without hitting anything and it fits great. The body shop will take time to make it fit right and I have no doubt it will fit perfect when it's all said and done. VFN makes a great hood! I've seen a few other brands out there that are simply rediculous.

Love the color, but I'm biased haha.
I like the hood. Is it gonna be painted? I don't really like the banner or stripes on the bottom of the doors.

Got the windows tinted today. I've been going to do this for a long time. I have no idea why I didn't do it 6 years ago.... I wish I knew how to make the pictures show up without having to click on them....

Looks pretty good. I know most people don't, but I like the spoiler. It just needs to be green. Sharp lookin car when it gets all pulled together. Maybe paint the wheels black? I think it looks sharp on bgm.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the spoiler. It looks better than nothing, but I will proly end up switching it out for a 3 piece RK sport eventually.

Ok. Well I picked her up on tuesday and have been enjoying watching everyone brake their necks as I drive by! LOL! These are not by any means glamour shots, but you can get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. I have a lot of detailing to do on the outside. I think it looks freaking great!
