Due to my thin skin and shavedmax's pressure I decieded to try his approach :P

I kinda look how it's turning out. (still need tochange the angle on the right side) There's is no plastic on it yet, just primed metal.

I like it, but I think it would be pretty imperative to make the outer edge become flush with the headlight.

What'd you end up doing for the hood latch?

It won't be perfectly flush but over lap the headlight a tad, I'm trying to avoid cutting the headlights.

I have not done anything with the latch. But I'm going run a cable to it and tuck it some where up front.

I wish some of you lived by me, because I dont know anything about body and wish someone could show me so I dont mess up my car. But your car will look sweet when it's finished.

I would pm ya, but you have under 15 post. They are a single piece head I made. Basically bmw headlights molded into our stock corner and the lenses is cut out of a headlight cover.
