I hear you some paint and body shops can get busy.
A guy that I work with had to wait three months to get
his whole car painted.He told me that the waiting list was
up to four months geezzzz.
I hear you some paint and body shops can get busy.I will, but my appointment got moved back to its original date again. He's a busy guy at the moment

Sweet..I bet your car is looking sharp.Ya, but that generally means that the shop must be good if people are willing to wait that long for an appointment.
Anyway, it's not that far away now. My bumper isn't even here yet either, so I'm in no rush.
Just got done washing and waxing the car. Poorboys Natty's Blue FTW

San, what shipping company did they use?
I already know that, but what company specifically?
Simplification... Rice = going to pep boys and buying stuff from "those aisles" and putting it on your car thinking you are doing something that will increase your vehicles' P-factor. See, before the concept of "rice" was being tossed around, we called it ghetto. The basic notion is that in order to be ghetto/rice, one must buy some cheap **** (usually a bunch of it), install it on their 'awesome' rides ... more rons
*my 2 Lincolns*
Lambo doors, carbon fiber hood, and lightweight wheels aren't cheap.
And for the sake of show car worthiness..
Two of the same cars with EXACTLY the same mods, identical paint, and everything... say one has lambo doors and the other doesn't, guess who wins?
Well san, you definatly got a nice big juicy thread that draws alot of attention out of it. Now that many more people will be looking for your new thread with pics
I for one and really looking forward to seeing how it looks all painted and slicked up.
One question though....have you thought about making the hood functional? Im not sure of your plans down the road, but in any case it would be to your advantage. ALthough its a pain to do, IMHO its worth it
My god, youre a knob. How is a Ford part ever rice?
Not only that, your big fat stock hood scoop is hardly functional. How's that different?
Houston GT just got the hood installed and it looks great:

I was like WTH!!!!!
San~man we layed an MSD spark plug wire (8.8 MM?) on the hood, in the louver area...then used a sharpi and traced a line even with the top of it I believe. Im not sure if you noticed, but the slits get narrower in sync with the louvers. Closest to the driver is widest and they taper in. Simple tape measer will let you get the length correct, and its a suttle thing that really improves the looks.
As for the cutting....WOW what a pain LOL. My hands were beat up and SORE. Basically we took a drill and drilled out a few holes right next to eachother to get a slit going. Then cut the fiber glass out using a hack-saw blade (yes by hand) to get a line all the way from one side of the slit to the other....then went back for a second pass to make the opening wider. After that I used a round file (the small round file that you get in most metal/wood file packs at home depot) and slowly worked my way from one side to the other to make the slit the same size all the way accross. and TAKE YOUR TIME! Its VERY easy to get off...and the tinyest amount shows up...as seen in the last vent on my hood. Just barely got off and its not quite right.
So repeat that a few times and it should look great...BUT I would recommend doing this BEFORE its painted as you will almost for sure scratch the paint durring the process...and on mine there were random air pockets and when I would be filng it would ship off a bit of fiber glass instead of making a clean cut. I would hate to see that happen with new paint.
I also wouldnt reccomend a dremel....its would be super easy to get off, and once you do thats it. I tried powered rotarty tools, but they just remove too much material for me to be precise IMO. But you can try it...it may work for you.
Just ask if you have anymore questions
