    still in the process so i'll update with pics as soon as I can...
    had to stop the paint tonight on account of rain and lingering humidity.

    she came in while I first started on the warpig

    after the first gel coat and sand down

    woke up to cute sleeping puddles

    and after a long night of sanding on the pig, I went ballistic recasting the entire hood, scoop, and structure.

    fixed the two cute little dog hairs that fell into the casting thanks to the shop dog.... and now she awaits paint / buff.

    i'll keep you all posted... I know jackstand has been bouncing off the walls waiting to see how it's coming. I promise man, the wait is worth it :) hope your getting excited :) I can't wait to see this at HIN

    StealthFiber. This is the same thing I'd do if I got any carbon parts on my car.

    well in all honesty. It was a last minute rush decision. I just figures he would b much happier if it looked sexy.

    And yesser jason, we can flush your hood but your probably going to want that whole hood repainted. Not before hin tho. Waaaaay too much chaos at the shop. I'm pulling teeth to get a ton of stuff done in time.

    thank you man! for the shape of the hood when it came in... i'm MORE then pleased with how it turned out.

    needs to be blemish sanded and buffed... not enough time before hot import nights. HOWEVER.... still looks amazing.
    see for yourself

    Looks good! Is that color matched? If so I may have a project for you when you get time down the road.
