hey looking pretty good man. how much u get the hood for?

I bought it used for $250 along with a set of CF fenders for $200 and another $50 in product to remove all the oxidized crap off the finish + around 6 hours hand polishing all of it.

not a bad deal if i may say so myself. the work was worth it man looks really good. when u throwing the body kit on there?

Mmm carbon fiber..... love it

Next step is i have to wait till thursday to by myself a torx bit set since GM likes to attach the stock mud flap guard with them and thats one tool i don't have.. DOH! After that is remove the fenders, remove the front bumpers. Clean everything up inside all those hard to get locations, widen the hole that my CAI passes through so it will fit more properly, so i need to take a hammer and beat some metal a little bit near the battery tray, Splice some wires for the 2000+ headlight swap, determine whether or not i should get the backet to hold the 00+ corner lamp in place or wing it, then trim the crush guard to fit the type J, install the CF Fenders, trim off the 95-99 corner marker bracket off those... then install my BAER Decela rotors and hawk pads... Oh i have a huge list to pound out. I am sooo glad i finished up with college on monday!

Mmm carbon fiber..... love it
The car looks nice but you could do without the stripes

HOODPINS!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol

I got my hood cheaper :) nananananer

looks good cody

HOODPINS!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol

They are ok as long as you don't live in a bad area. Or just have a hood sensor on your alarm

yea same here i got done college last week, i get my interior back from the painter this week cant wait to see it all done ill post some pics up this weekend hopefully. I cant wait to see those carbon fiber fenders.

Hood pins are a safety reassurance that the thing dosn't come loose from the hinge and fly up and slam into my windsheild. This thing is crazy light and i'll rock the hood pins over the cost of fixing a broken windsheild and damage to the roof of my car thank you...

You alright..

i know what there for but their still ugly...lol

how light would you say it is? roughly or if you know the exact weight...??

Few pounds

are u serious!? i didnt realize they were THAT light...dayum
i thought mabye like 10-15 lbs

They are about 10-15lbs, stockers i would say rougly 20-25lbs. But you have to remember CF hoods have a fiberglass base and the durability of the product is resting upon the manufacture unlike the stock steel hoods are sound. To me the hood looks like its great quality and is made my Aerogear/ Wayson USA. If it was a VIS hood, i would be rocking w/o pins. BUt i also bought the hood used and came predrilled with the pins in here.

I never weighed mine, but for comparison's sake...

It was a struggle to carry my stock hood down to my basement, both hands.

I comfortably carried my new hood to the same place with one arm.

Ahhh.... someone raped the front end of my car... ;)

Why did you decide to go with the 2000+ headlights instead of the projectors? I'm wanting to do the opposite swap lol.

For the type-j body kit... besides the light output on the projection headlights is total crap without going HID and I was into month # 3 of waiting to get my original body kit Buddy club 2 thru Aplus performance and i didn't want to wait any longer. So i scraped that idea and went this way instead. BUt trying to find the last few remaining parts i need for this damn swap is being a royal pain in my ass....

*napolian dynomite* U GOT SHOCKS! TIIIRESSSSS.....luckyyyyyyyyyy

Is that a custom cai?

*napolian dynomite* U GOT SHOCKS! TIIIRESSSSS.....luckyyyyyyyyyyhahaha funny shit

Is that a custom cai?

Yes, its a custom welded Stainless Steel CAI, they are made by my good friends at RDFABS (http://www.rdfabs.com/2200_caint.asp) All your big companies like AEM or Injen are aluminum, while these are SS. They are hand polished to a mirror shine and will retain it with a little windex cleaning from time to time.

Understandable. I'm wanting to do the HID headlights anyways, so projectors won't be a problem. Shame I don't have what I need to do the swap or I'd give you what you needed from my headlights.
