Mine is on order right now! I talked to the guy in the fitment dept at Cobra Automotive and he said it is so nice the he put it on his wife's car and it took all of about 4 hours to install, fit and prep for paint. He is a pro so I suppose for me it will take about three times as long. It is a direct bolt on if using hood pins and no hood latch. Get it then you will be the only one in the city with it. Good luck.

Wow? that's inexpensive when you look at replacing the head light buckets, lower valance, bumper, and trim like I'd have to do. This is a much more economically smart choice... for me... and the look is ssssooooo coooolll.

Very true. As a comparison:
Bucket Headlights


I would just wonder if you would need a bumper in your state.
