    Looks really good, I love the cf hood (reminds me of mine)... Your car would look awesome with a new paint job, gunmetal would go great with the hood and rims...

    No new paint job for it, its going up for sale in the spring. Everything will transfer off to my new addition (when I find the PERFECT candidate) and this one will be on the blocks in stock trim

    very nice as usual vinny. I'm still not use to the Erebuni kit...looks funny to me still. Oh well..lots of good effort put into this baby.

    so you have hood pin inserts on your hood but no pin? Who used the pins before?

    That would be me. The flush mount posts are pot metal, and one of them broke some. I gave them to Vinny, but hopefully he can come up with a better solution.

    I was the first to see it all in person aside from Jay! Yay I feel so special!!!

    Vin did you paint up the bumper before you took pics? (not the cover, the actual bumper..) Just looks different in the pics.

    Very nice indeed! Just curious how much do you think you are going to ask for it come spring time?

    Derek, they aren't "pins" for say its a lock setup. I think jay said spectre made it. Its a flushmount deal with a key, not a pin type

    Rob, I painted the mouldings and bumpers yesterday right before I took the pics. Its not flawless but its not nasty looking as far as the discoloration I had on it before. Facking humidity is NOT your friend when it comes to paint. I taped it early in the morning and by the time I got to painting it had come up to like 90 or more percent humidity so the paint didnt atomize like it should have. It has a few "spit marks" in it that I'll try and wet sand out.

    I think I'll be looking in the 1500 range in the spring when I let it go. It will be in stock trim.


    Its going in tomorrow for tint, 20% all the way around. I'm half tempted to have them tint the entire front windshield but I dont think I'll press my luck right now. Hopefully my cam and camgear from the group buy will be in this week or early next and the SS lines should be in early next week as well.
