Thanks guys... all the paint was only $50, and clear coat was $40. Get this... it was spray paint too! Paint shop near me mixed it perfectly to match. Just wet sanded purple off, and 4 coats of spray, 4 coats of clear!

And yes... hood did fly open, about a month ago. I was working on it, and my cousin took it for a ride and didnt want to close it too hard since it's fiberglass... badda bing badda boom, hood flew open, but did very little damage to the hood (which I repainted) and cowl. I was very fortunate.

Looks great man. Do you have any rubbing issues? I lowered the 83 in my sig 2 1/4 all the way around. The texas roads suck comming on and off the highway but other than that I havn't had any problems really.
