Default so much for my pretty jdm front

Welp, like a good boy I was on my way to church this morning, drinkin my coke & listenin to something quiet b/c I just woke'd up. Maybe doing 30 mph b/c it's bumpy right there, hit one bump like you would usually.
Next thing I see is well nothing from my window.
check out alll those pretty shapes

just yesterday i was saying how i wanted a new front windshield

my 2nd method of transportation in the background

huge gangster lean!

I'm glad it was only going that slow, was able to pull off fine & didn't dent the roof.
I may look for another low mile ef b/c the list of "to=do" on my car has been piling up & last time I checked jdm hoods aren't that available down here on the Mobile Bay.
Maybe I'll just get a CF hood, but I have to look into the prices and I don't even know if my latch broke somewhere or if I just forgot to shut the hood last time I parked it.

& this was just yesterday

Yeah I remember seeing that thread. All jdm front ef's, when your hood is kinda wabbling ( you know you even mounted the latch right) just be sure it's still on tight. I'm now probably going to be down $600 or so when it's all said & done. Funny thing is...I hate unpainted CF hoods
But my best option is to either bang the **** out of the ef9 hood and make it work (gaw i hope i don't do that)
or buy a cf hood and get some HIGH qual. pins to aid in holding it down (for the past 3 yrs i've been on the hwy hmm i dont' kno how many miles)

i think vis makes a hood.

And does anyone else have family that isn't into cars? It's really annoying b/c they don't understand.

Well, there goes my plans in buying a 80-200 f/2.8 lense

Did I mention I need a new radiator? Did I meantion my blower motor quit working... 3 months ago, or that my tokiko blue shocks need replacing?

Now watch my original fuel pump go bad

or something break inside the head b/c it's rattlin pretty bad (lma's at least don't know what else makes racket, could try another valve job)
