Looks good, and a great deal. Plus an excuse for a road trip, awesome!

He said they had done 30-40 swaps and the ad said they had over 100. I didn't see a whole lot more but I did see a few. Give them a call, they were very cool to deal with.

Well just did some figuring. It would cost my in excess of $400 to make the trip in gas from MO. Why couldn't this deal happen in STL.

Still cheaper than buying/painting an aftermarket hood, just saying...


Congrats on the deal, that's amazing! and it looks great!

But my car is yellow and he didn't have any yellow hoods so in the end I'll have to get it painted. Still cheaper but a lot of work and an additional 3500 miles on our car.

I was thinking a black hood then paint some yellow along the side of the hood to match the hoods contours.

Man what a deal. I wonder what the back story is on why he is doing this?
