Its rare tanner. Meh! The despite how kind of weird the shape is. I actually like it. It flows well with the cars shape imo. And you basically have to do a double take to notice its there because it pretty much blends in at certain angles and almost cant tell it has a bulge.

And mac its going to be cut for venting hot air. All gauges will be inside car.

Its probably a combo of hood or bumper only. The front bumpers tend to sag after some years. Mine sags just a tad. But the side fitment along the fenders is perfect. The hood is brand new. Unpainted. And never been driven around with it on the car.

sleepyalero · 01-30-2014, 09:05 PM

Hahhahahahaha yes perfect.

Kayaus · 01-30-2014, 09:21 PM

I like it, could be cut to make it look like an old school mustang hood

TDavis · 01-30-2014, 09:37 PM

Rare? Hah, lemme go take my stock hood and beat it with a hammer through the center then I'll have the same center buldge

Are those the ones you had made by truchoice? I almost forgot about those. I remember you had some coilovers made but forgot what happened to them.

I'd love some coilovers for my car, but I'm not sure if they could handle the crappy roads around here. The ride is rough enough with the poly suspension bushings and all the pot holes and road patching.

They are custom koni coilovers.

Yes, but TrueChoice did the fabrication work.
If memory serves, the ride was very stiff. Not firm. STIFF.

It looks worse in person but at least it's getting replaced at no cost, so no worries.

Matt, seems like the car might be going to a good home with the tranny and coilovers, and possibly the headers, which makes me very happy to see that!

No, flows with the car well, you just can't see it.

hey since you're a turbo kind of guy, you could mount a BOOOOOOOSSSTTTTT gauge in the back of it. think about it before you just go cutting holes in sht

The hood is two pieces glued together, so the bottom and back could be cut out to make it functional in heat extraction. I did the same thing to one of the cowl hoods I owned.

This, the stock hood has a bigger gap by the front bumper due to the design of the car.
