Well, first off, there were MANY snags... the three I have left to deal with are:

1 - The street scenes door fillers aren't lined up properly, they rub when i open the doors, so I'm taking it back on Monday. (not street scenes' fault)

2 - the stock hood washer spray nozzles don't fit into the Saleen Hood

3 - Since the Saleen fog lights are made by Mini, I'm having a hell of a time connecting them to the OEM fog light connectors.

If anyone has any help on 2 or 3, please let me know. Pics are below. I'm pleased overall with how it turned out, but.. a lot of kinks still to be worked out. Comments are also appreciated.

On a lighter note, I was EXTREMELY pleased with the Classic Design Concepts Ducktail Spoiler. It is sooo subtle and so sleek, amazing!

Not crazy about the grill but other then that
Is it just me or does the grill look like it should be on a dodge? Probably just me. Well thats my 2 cents

Yeah I dont like the snake badge or the blue calibers. Just doesnt seem like a good color to paint the calibers on a black car. I would paint them black or red. But everything else looks good!

Is that a new rear fascia (bumper)? Or is it just a lower lip add on? Black cars always look great. Nice job. Tres bon!

+1 on the snakes... And shouldn't they be facing forward anyway?

Ya it's the Xenon rear bumper.

As for the snake badges, i know, i know I was SUPPOSED to have them shaved and the two holes filled, but the shop "forgot" to do it. Soooo.... I'm taking it elsewhere to have done next week. So, FEAR NOT, they will be gone shortly.

But thanks for all the comments

Any word on hooking up the Saleen fogs or the winsheild washer fluid nozzles?

When I installed the RKSport hood I had to take a small rat tail file and cut more material from the hood until the windshield squirters would fit. Don't over do it. They fit in tightly. They don't just push straight in you kind of have to hook them in.

A simple V8 badge might be nice. You're always going to catch hell putting cobras on a non-SVT car.

Are the holes for the nozzles a different shape than stock? Did Saleen offer any explanation? Or maybe they were supposed to be provided and were just missing in the shipment?

Are the vents in the Saleen hood functional or just for looks?
