Thanks a pile, guys.
Matt, the material used is simply 1/8" mirror plexi. It's stuckon using velcro, so I can remove it for the ride.

BTW....I'll get some decent 'full body shots' up when I find a few goodies.

That is the best (by far) looking installation of that 4" Anderson Power Pipe that I've ever seen.

Did you add in the "DMan Speedholes" when you put in that plexi?

Looks great, man (as if it needs to be said).

I do think some more accenting calypso would 'flow' more though

oh yea - try driving it around without a hood. I did that when I drove it to my friend's to pick up the hood after painting and someone almost drove off the road trying to get a look at it

The mirror will never hold unless you manage to put a drill through the hood in order to attain absolute max screw dept available . Look incredible!!!!! just awesome.

LOL.....No "DMAN Speedhooles" added yet. LOL. All velcro. I took Scott's route. All of my drill bits are too long. haha.
Thanks Davey. And about the Calypso accents...There's more coming. I think the exact same way. No kidding. You're the first to mention it, though. I guess you have the most 'balls'. Haha. I appreceiate constructive criticism.
You know...I never took it out without the hood. LOL. Kinda kick myself now. haha.

Don't mind you asking, at all. However, I really don't know.....Honestly. A pile of time, though. Most of my parts, I've bought used and I've done all of the work, myself. Saved a pile there, for sure.

No way.

Sweet

FWIW there's so much time value vs. money value when it comes to engine bays like Bottlfed's. You can't just buy parts and make it look anywhere nearly as nice. I should know
