Hood and Grille installed

We just finished our grille and hood install last night. We were waiting for the paint shop to finish the grille. Hood is a TS from Carbon LTD and Skyline style grille with the little vanes on the bottom of the grille. It was a easy install. All we had to do was adjust the hood latch. Check it out and let me know what you think. We froze our A** off but was worth it.
Before and After

yup we def froze our a$$ off last night, i was surprised there wasn't a gap above the grill like some others i've seen, the hood actually is touching the grill.
the grille is a urethane kagirinai utr grille.
o, by the way thats my car, daddygonz is my dad... for real

It all started when we gave him a 300zx turbo when he was 10yrs old. All my kids are motor heads. I guess it's from being around me. I always love tinkering and fabricating stuff to fit our cars. I don't like our cars to look like everyone else. We want to be different. Just like my wife' car. Everyone here drives a Roush Mustang and we are the only one around here that owns a Roust Focus and it is signed by Jack Roush himself.

Wow, love the hood/grill combo, its exactly what I'm looking at. What kind of cash did you have to shell out for that hood? It's gorgeous.
