remove the hood liner completely.....if you try to cut the hood liner you will have frayed material everywhere.....trsut me, I tried it on my car. The liner has sorta a fiberglass insulation type of material inside of it, when its cut it kind of just shreds out around the edges, unless you have a way to stamp the edges down like it is on the stock cut edges......its kinda hard to explain, but I think you can get the idea from my explanation.

Man, how many times will I need to adjust the GS300 bar? You and Adrian are just out of control. Very nice. Can't wait to check it out next time I see you.

Hey guys, thank you all for the comments and opinions.

Jeff, I owe you man for the heads up... I wasn't sure if the material was going to fall apart but since you have already tried it, I'm gonna pass on it. I'm gonna remove the entire liner later this week.

As for the grille, there is one other grille I really want but just can't justify spending $800+ on it right now. Can anyone guess. LOL

Stay tuned... I have a few more tricks up my sleeve.

Rather than mess with the eyebrows, I would maybe do a DSR or JP grille, in other words, something with horizontal lines rather than vertical like the present one. that's where I see a bit of a clash in line flow. Dont get me wrong Ken , your car is one of my top 3 here on CL. Just subtle differences in everyones' individual taste. the hood is smokin hot, by the way. Cut out that liner and let that FI beast breath!!!
