This is going to sound odd, but are you doing an ABS system delete? If so, I was wondering if you are willing to sell the brake lines from the master to the ABS block?

Does it look like you will need an aftermarket cowl hood to clear everything?

yes . I am going to fiberglass a 2-5" hood scoop on my 05 hood. I found 1 that is 31 inches wide so that will go to the out side of the stock scoops.

then i will plasma cut the center of the hood out and have it repainted

I got you covered on the ABS delete. Also got you covered on a manual steering rack here in the next 2 weeks.

Its going to be easier to just do new lines for the brakes. Its going to look cleaner in the end.

Got the PM about the brake lines. I may have an interest in more parts that you are taking out. Watch for a more detailed PM.

Got some advice for you.

Sell your 05 hood for $500, buy an 04 hood for $50-100, then mold the cowl. = you come out on top.

How are you going to deal with the wiring? I know MSD offers the controller box for the ignition, but i was asking more from the perspective of controlling all the rest of the car's functions that were tied in with the ECU.
