winter guinea pig

Ay monitor the hood for cracks in the clear coat. if it starts to crack yank it off and put back ur oem one. this will give u time to pain the grills. i have an idea for u to add urown personal touch

 

The grills come right off, actually!
I wash and wax regularly, even in winter, so it should be ok.

But I'll let you know if bad things happen!

 

+1 for painting the mesh. It stands out so much since the rest of your car is all dark shades.

Otherwise the hood fits in with the car well.

 

Hows the fitments btw? I heard that some hoods just dont fit very well.

 

Honestly, nothing about putting this hood on was easy. The windshield spray nozzle holes were WAY too small. And getting the hood on was kind of a pain.

In the end though, it all worked out with some ingenuity from my friend.

On the passenger side, there is a slight raised gap, but it's really not noticeable unless I bring it up.

Either way though, my friend put on the hood for free. If it were some professional body shop I had to pay though, they probably would have charged extra for all the bs that had to be done...
