.. figured i was thanking you by quoting you...

thx

I'm actually painting it, so that won't work. Might have to bring it to a shop though if I can't shim it, or get the lights to fit in tighter, i just haven't had a lot of time to play with them.

Pins were just the first thing that came to mind. And no, I'm not looking to do 150.

I'll pull the lights and take a pic, maybe i'll be able to see if it's a fender. Or one of you may have an opion.

Yea try that..Only reason i dont think its the fender is that if your fender is F'ed your bumper would be noticable too...

Was the hood shipped to you? Or was it a local buy?

Was shipped. And it's not OEM so it may be that it just doesn't fit right either.??

Very very possible it doesnt fit right, also very possible that it was on that edge of the hood when it was shipped and kinda warped almost..

my regular hood is on it now, while i'm working on it.. don't think you can't tell if it's gapped there though, cuz that's where it was hit so it points down.

if it's warped i'm screwed.

Well your stock hood is on, is it all jacked up like the other was?

ryanbgb22 · 03-19-2008, 01:08 PM

^ I think his stock hood is messed up from when he was hit, so he cant tell.

ah yea read wrong..

I think it was how your hood was shipped to you. Ide contact the manufacturer..

cmtapanes · 03-19-2008, 01:27 PM

Change the rims and tint the tail lights.

Actually, it sits ok. Just went out and looked... aside from the bend where it comes in contact with the light.

I think it might be the hood itself. I called them, they told me it happens a lot and to shim it with a washer?? I know what they mean, but that's gay. Too bad I already primed it.

kipper1012 · 03-25-2008, 07:07 PM

Nice car . I like the taillights. Where did you get the headlights? did you have to do any cutting to get them to fit? I bought a set off ebay and can't get them to fit any helpful hints?

stillriza · 03-25-2008, 11:42 PM

welcome to the forums. Nice ride. Everyone has thier own opinions on style. stick with what you like.

mrbosox_99GAGT · 11-14-2008, 11:19 AM

These are crappy pics, I'll try and get some better backdrops this weekend.

I finally lowered it over the summer, painted spoiler, gas cap, and of course my hood. I really like the way it came out. Took me almost 3 weeks to paint.

Also added a chip, undercarriage lights and red window tint. Oh and I adjusted the hood so it sits flush now.

PS please help on the tech forum... my 03 grand am is crapping out on me...

I'm not trying to be an ******* but here is my .02:

Pros:
The hood looks nice I think it would flow better with an SCT kit painted red to black.

Cons:

The flames come on now how old and played out are those now especially if they are not airbrushed!

The headlights look misplaced maybe if you paint them the same color as the car.

The center caps they speak for themselves.

The gas door should be painted!

Nick-G · 11-14-2008, 12:12 PM

Honestly it looks like you watched too much fast and the furious... just being honest.

KhellendrosxS · 11-14-2008, 12:13 PM

What 'chip' if you dont mind me asking? If it wasnt a tuned PCM you just blew your $ on a 10 cent resistor in a box most likely...

So wait, you didn't find a problem with half the windows tinted red the other half black? I sure did...
