Did u took out a bank loan or just borrowed the money from mom/pops?
If it was a bank loan, I would try to sign up for a cc that has low balance transfers like 0-3.99% until loan is paid off and use that to pay off the bank to save money on interest. If it's from your parents... damn, I wish I had parents that understood my passion, lol.

Hey bro, I think your car looks great, and it's gonna look even better once you're done with your next round of mods and I could care less how you paid for everything, but since you said you're 18 and that you have worked the last 7 years to pay for you car, be prepared to get flamed about having a job @ 11 years old and such.

^^ya I just dont like explaining how I got my car the way it is because people ask all the time when they see me driving so I didnt want to get into it on here but people had to make their assumptions..no harm done..im just defensive towards it because of my age and people always assuming my parents gave it to me which is not the case at all
haha either way, life goes on..people will think what they want to

The more I look at those pix the more I want mine to look that way, lol. Get more pix (bigger).
Do u ever feel the hood is vibrating or moving when u drive at normal or at high speeds without the hood pins? I'm very tempted to go the same route with the TS style hood but only thing stopping me is I hate the look of the hood pins.
PS, if u ever decide to part ure car for a new car, I'm very interested in the the hood and fenders

^^---I think the 20 grand is what is being installed now.
OP-I hope u don't mind me asking but if your 18 and been working 24/7 for 7 years, u started working when you were 11?? what exactly did you do when you were 11? Me I was barely starting to do yardwork for the neighbors at the rate of $20 for 3 hours of work!! Your employer must've broken some labor laws!!!

The hood is actually awesome on the car; no issues what so ever.

My only question is, out of $20,000, why didn't buy some rims first? I know, I know. It's his car, his money, etc. But ya, $20k spent and no rims.
