Default Got my car back from the bodyshop:

Got my car back from the bodyshop yesterday. I had them shave the front badge, paint and install the OEM Lip and Strakes (That I bought from Derrick on S2Ki.com. THANKS DERRICK!), and also clear the crap out of the hood and buff it like mad. Anyway, here's what I came out with:

Before:



After:




I forgot, I also tinted the windows and added Grille-Tech Grilles since the "Before" pic. Just thought I'd share.

*Edit: Made pics smaller for 56k users.*

That looks good. You've got my favorite hood on your car.

The hood itself was less than $700 after shipping. It's a knock off made by GTP. Looked like **** when I got it but some clear and buffing made a world of difference. The fit is also excellent.

The hood has bolt-on channels underneath that direct water-flow away from the engine bay.
