I haven't figured out the rain part yet. They are over the radiator so it may not be a problem. If it is I've seen shields you can use underneath to divert the water. I'll just have to stay on top of it.

Cool man! Be sure to post new pics once the stripes are installed. The stripes will help enhance the curves on the hood. ;-)

Definitely have a shaking problem above 55 of 60. will probably get the hidden hood pins. Any body know enough about fiberglass to know if
these will be ok?

Thanks! I'm very happy with it. While they had it I had the front bumper repainted, a door dent fixed and some scratched polished out. it all came out better than I expected.

looks really good, congrats.....have you checked/tried adjusting the bump stops under the hood to make sure they were set accordingly?
