Quick teaser pic of the car in the body shop

I know its not much, but I was really excited to see my car again after not having it for 3 weeks. Its hard to tell in this pic, but that is a VIS carbon fiber hood. It lines up VERY nice, as you can see, and the only issue seems to be in the front, where it meets the bumper, which seems to be common with VIS. but you can barely tell at all. and for those who remember my other thread about non OEM parts, the body shop guys got me OEM parts anyway, so props to Ken's Auto Body in Ledgewood NJ! I should have it back tuesday, and get some real pics for you guys before i take it back to Don to have the drivers side headlight resmoked.



i forgot to check when i was there, but does the VIS hood have the washer nozzle holes precut? i totally forgot and cant tell from the pic. It would suck to not be able to wash my windshield at the cost of looking good, haha.

glad to hear that they come with the holes predrilled. i hate the look of hood pins tho built, i think they disrupt the lines.

plus, the CF trunk finally ships out today! i just hope i have enuff money left over for rims. i hope uncle sam is on my side when the tax return is done.
