i would wait before you decide about the hood
wait till everything is put together and final , u never know the hood could look good!
+100 on gtr front bumper needed to go!

 

Are u ok bro?

 

welcome to the rear end club. i did it too

 

Yea im alright, not a scratch. The surprising thing to me is the airbag didnt even deploy. I Think i remember reading somewhere that there has been a prob with airbags in the past. I could be wrong tho.

 

heres a few more pics. im very disappointed with the fitment of the hood. i think i like the actual hood if it would have fit correctly. i bought it off ebay so i guess you get what you pay for ... lesson learned.
The bumper came from dustin@strafeautomotive and fitment on that was spot on aside from the side marker lights. you can see in one of the pics how its just not flush.
i have a set of eyelids but cant decide if i should get them to match the car or paint them black.

 

Damn, hood fitment sucks. Atleast you got it back on the road. Did you get an oem radiator support or an aftermarket one?

 

I like the hood too bad the fitment is off

 

bumper is nice. Yeah the fitment on the hood is pretty bad. That sucks man.

 

i didnt ask for anything special as far as the radiator support goes so i guess its an OEM.
i dont know where to go from here with the hood. i guess im just out that money and ill have to buy one out of pocket. i dont know if im gonna go with an OEM hood or not at this point, id almost rather spend the money on OEM because i know fitment will be right. id hate to spend another 4 or 5 hundred on another aftermarket one for fitment to be off again ...

 

sorry for the shiddy pics, used my phone because i lost my camera in boston.

 

I can dig the hood, maybe if you painted the middle part of the hood black and the roof black. it would flow 10x better.

 

it looks good minus that fitment. i hate that for you, itd drive me crazy. try contacting the seller to see if they will come to some agreement with you. best of luck to you.

 

hood needs to go as with the played out black and silver rims. but nice recovery. clean G. prob wont feel the same though once its through an accident a car never feels the same

 

I thought about painting the hood black in the cent but wasn't sure how good it would flow. I tried to get someone on here to photoshop it for me but no one came through.

 

i was gonna go with some diff rims ... bump it up to 20" but not really in my budget right now. maybe next years income tax
