It's soo easy to do. Keep in mind, the cost for the whole car I was quoted 300-$600 pending on the quality of the paint. I plan to do the whole car as well. I am thinking about adding an intake and exhaust filter/flow system in the garage wall to limit fumes and dust.

Best of luck. Try to start small to get your gun set up.

Looks like I will have to remove the B pillar bar to make way for the baby seat (in the near future.)

Dibs given to Mike, if he wants it.

I'm a bit late to the party here, but did you make custom holes to fit your hood pins or did they fit in a hole that was already there?

I like you're car by the way. :D

I like the stuffed toy idea. It would totally work.

The hood was used, but the pins were in perfect position to line up with existing holes in the front support.

I realize that I may have not made sense, I was asking wether the pins slid into existing holes.
I'm gonna put in two more support holes and I'm thinking of putting them right were you have yours, are the holes in the actual frame or are they in something else?

I mounted mine to what sounds like the exact same thing as RS_OBD'oh_2 where I put them in existing holes on the support, and I much perfered them (for looks and function) on the sides of the hood rather than in the center.

I've never seen that hood with a badge on it! :o I like it a lot better that way!

Your driveway looks like mine too, full of cars. :freak:

I think you should keep the pillar bar btw, dangling toys from it is just a bonus!

I am really looking forward to scrubbing the hole bay down. A little bling should add a nice touch.
