Default My new hood and bumper

Just got my car back from the body shop today and I had them put on a California Special front bumper with a Cervini Concept hood and blacked out my tail panel. Please forgive the pics, I am not a photographer, this is right in front of the body shop and taken with my Palm Pre cell phone.

Thats my favorite hood. Good choice!

Any install issues with the front end, in regards to the fender well lining?

looks awesome! I guess the bodyshop didn't order the belly pan filler though? It's a small extension that connects the gap between the old bellypan and bottom of the bumper, really finishes up everything nicely. I ordered it when i did my CS bumper

We did get the belly pan for it, it just did not show up on time but it came in today and got thrown on about 20 min, ago. Still waiting on the emmissions sticker for the hood and it will be done until I save up more cash.

To those asking about wheels next, I doubt it as I love the way the bullitts look. My car had the fan blade style from the factory and I actually bought these about a year ago. I do a lot of drag racing so I don't want anything larger than 18" plus someone gave me 2 matching wheels that I keep a set of DR's on for summer.

No issues at all, we ordered a conversion kit from Late Model Restoration and it had everything needed including a new front plate bracket (I left it off ) the only things that we ran into were the under tray was shipped seperate for some reason but it showed up today and the lowest edges of the bumper that are painted red cam textured and we agreed that it looked lame so we smoothed those parts out.

As for the hood it was shipped from Cervini but arrived half out of the box and was damaged. Not only that my guy is a bit of a perfectionist so he put over 10 hours into smoothing out and making it look like a smooth sheet, it was pretty wavy as most fiberglass hoods are. I will say though that the finish from Cervini is better than most other companies. There is a slight bit more gap on the edges between the hood and fenders but it is consistent and fits great!
