Question Bro Where Can I Get A Hood Like That

i could fix these for you... go get the original vinyl you bought that had a little pearl in them last time... i'll re-do them at ross docks

in comparison for everyone



stupid ebay guys... can't even copy it right
Your hood is sick. Where can I get one?

for the effort, but for the eyelids... I think they'd look good if they were actually color-matched painted fiberglass parts. The fact that light passes through vinyl makes it look cheesy when your headlights are on.

Thanks guys, glad to write up something for you all. But like I said from the get go, I am not entirely sold on these yet. It was just something quick that Bat sparked up in my mind to do....

More DIY's to come for you guy's! Be patient!

That eye-lid shouldn't even be on the car to start with. As always, be prepared for honest feed back when posting on public forum, which can be down right brutal.

Ask the guy who posted w/ his hired so-called-professional model. That was classic.

I think this guy AVG is a bit lost in this whole situation...

Trust me, I'm not taking any hard criticism here as you can see by all my posts back. From the get go I wasn't sure if it's something I was going to keep.

Oh and BTW...thats not even my car in the picture you quoted. That's an IS350 LMAOOOO

Not a bit lost at all. I wouldn't put that kind quality lid on a $60K car in the first place. I wouldn't even go further posting on the forum and have to clarify if I intend to keep it or not.

Anyhow, I'm glad you're not taking it as a hard criticism.
