hey i've only had it on for a few days over a month ....what's really funny is i used to make fun of all the people who would buy something and put primer on it and not paint it, and now i'm one of those people.

Looks 100% better, Joe. I can't wait to see it painted Fusion Orange. Oh wait there I go dreaming again. Did you ever ask the makers of it about the hood latches not being right?

Did you ever ask the makers of it about the hood latches not being right?no i probably should email the people at SLP and let them know it needs probably a half inch more on the main latch to let it sit down fully flush with the rest of the car.

I like hood pins on 'tuner' cars. But just to warn you, my buddy has them on his car and they are always getting stolen off his hood. Can't wait to see it painted! I've been saying that for like 3 years now! Maybe next year.

I like the pins a lot. Plus, even if you don't like 'em that much, it's better to get rid of the gap and put on the pins. Also excited for the paint.

That looks great. Do you feel safer driving around now? Did you use the spots on the frame you were considering? I forgot about people stealing them. I bought a set of the locking ones and tested them in the parking lot and they didn't line up close enough to even lock so I returned them and got the ones you have.
