Default ImportAlliance/Don Napier ej8 v.2 low offset/new hood/roof rack/etc

Last year at ImportAlliance '08 we built our ej8 in 2 days. This year we added more accessories including a roof rack, custom hood and interior, plus we also had a set of one off custom wheels made.


These are pictures taken of our project car at ImportAlliance '09. Thank you everyone that took pictures of it.

I definitely consider it an accessory. We are working on a customer roof basket for a spare tire.

Don, I think if you went with some real OEM lips it'd really set the car off!

I agree about the rear lip. I need to make it fit better.

Since when did you get AI, Don? I thought the brain implants weren't for another year or so.

Car is dope! Love the changes.

The wheels/caps really set it off.

Is that hood covered in fabric?
