FFI hood painted- with bumper from Ebay

well just took some quick pics from body shop - case u were wondering what the abay front bumper and an FFI SS hood looks like-

body shop said the bumper was perfect- and the hood was pretty good for after market- they arent happy with how it sits 1/8th inlower on passenger side and are going to try to tweak more but otherwise they were impressed

and these are just after baking the paint- havent buffed and cleaned yet

damnit- knew i should have done this stuff myself- got call from bodyshop saying turn signals didnt fit- went down - car is all done but the factory turn signals dont fit for **** in the holes- its about 2 iinches to long a hole and inch to narrow-

ohh and it fits like ****-

this is first time seeing car in person since ive been at college and havent had a chance to see the stuff myself- currently trying to get auto-bodyparts.com to pay for a new factory bumper and paintjob as well as labor i just wasted over 900 bux

How can the turn signals be THAT far off..no way that doesn't sound right. I bet that shop doesn't have a clue what they are doing.

ha- ur right- forgot to update this post- i havent seen car in person and just got a call saying they were- turns out their good body guy wasnt there adn they had some new kid trying to install them through the hole rather than from underneath---



sure made me look like an ******* as well as them when i went down and showed them the right way..


but anyway- the cover is not bad..... doesnt fit too well with fenders though but think can be tweaked more

Wondering where you got your hood from?
The answer to this question would save literally my sanity.

So that would mean there is patience involved. Not to good at that. I've already waited 6 week for the one I have and the fit is horrible.
