Off topic: Have you noticed the FTP rubber strip on the engine cover leave a black mark on your charge pipe?

Actually worse then that it rubbed off the paint. When I complained they sent me a rubber edge piece for the engine cover to stop it after it was too let. I believe they send that piece with all orders now.

That’s really bad. The rubber edge piece isn’t that great also. It left a black mark and started to wear through the powder coat finish. Plus it fell off every time I took the cover off.

I threw it in the trash and trimmed the cover instead. I took an exacto knife and added a radius to the cover so that it gives clearance around the pipe.

Smart the problem is now for me if I do that then the worn paint will show ? it’s covered up now and you can’t see it.

I finally got the vents put in the hood. Shop did an amazing job. What do you guys think? So much cheaper than buying an after market hood and having to deal with fitment issues.ut in the hood.

Vents look cool enough...not my thing personally....but a nice clean install..

I do LOVE the yellow headlight though...I think they look fantastic on your car..
I want to tint my yellow...just not sure about it being on a murdered out car...

Funny you say that I literally just peeled them off today. I was 50/50 on them but they were made of very soft vinyl and scratched up real bad and I could get all the bubbles out. I have a different tint I bought but I’m not sure I’m going to do it though.

Yeah in my eye the yellow looks better than stock...car looks good either way though...good luck in your decision...

No you can’t see the outer two because it’s double paned. They are only in the top aluminum not both panes.

Do the outer vents work for cooling? Nice clean install.
