What up man...nice hood. I just got a Seibon hood myself. I love it. I will post pics soon....I got the gialla replica one. That chrome is nice..but a little obnoxious.

I was thinking of painting mine as well but I haven't decided yet.

One quick question on your Seibon hood. Did you have to adjust the latch to make it fit perfectly. What I mean is when I shut the hood the latch on the hood comes down but it has to move to the right just a bit so that it will click into place with the latch on the car. Does that make sense? I heard however that our latches can be adjusted up to 1/4 of an inch either way. Just wanted to see if you had any trouble.

I will post pics probably tonight. Yes she did but we had some problems with the whole exhaust thing. We received a bent exhuast, had to return it, then we had the right bolts but the wrong nuts, and then the DP was crappy and wasn't welded correctly. So we just got the replacement DP yesterday. We will put it on her car tonight and then it will be complete. She got the new Perrin DP....man that thing is beautiful. Plus we just put in her HKS intake last night. Her car is just as fast as mine now. Watch out boy....she is quick. Her name is Jenn. don't worry about forgetting her name. It's all good.

Cool... I'm not good on remembering names that well. Well seems like you went throught some $hit for that exhaust. Glas you got everything worked out. I just need to get my Quaife diff now and I'll be back on the road. Check this out for the status on that: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=155204
I'm looking at getting the SAFCII and waiting on A-Spec to release the Ti 80mm Down pipe and Ti 80mm test Pipe. Than I'll be down w/ the exhaust. An old buddy from Texas is getting the Greddy turbo kit next month so he is giving me his HKS intake, might send cash for shipping. So hopefully I'll be back on the road soon and much quicker.

Looks good. Is it me or is the gap between the hood and passenger headlight a little big?

DUDE.....THAT sucks. It looks like you have the same luck as me. I had to deal with lancershop. Justin was real nice.....but the shipping place (masterminds Inc) is crappy. Don't ever have anything shipped form there. they don't care about the way it is packaged. We received the DP from Perrin.....directly...and there shipping was unbelievable. The box was perfect, it was shipped with the right protection. Masterminds inc shipped the exhaust in a box that looked like it had been through WWII and there idea of protection was newspaper and an empty fed ex box. and they blame UPS for the bad shipping.

I hope you find a better company and things work out for you. I am pulling for you man.
Hope to see you back on the track soon......and maybe you might race my wife
