I saw your car on my local car forum and I will be honest, before I saw these pictures I commented: "Car looks great, but whats up with not replacing the hood struts?". Now I see why.... YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MONEY IN THE REST OF THE CAR!! haha

Car looks great!!

Where in Mo are you at?

I am in Nixa, MO

In July (cant remember the date) you need to come to Ozark for the "Sho-me Showdown" car show.

Thanks.

I am waiting for the custom made hood struts for my CF hood.
16 lbs Vs. 200 lbs stock hood. Stock hood shocks will break the CF hood.
I am in St. Louis. You should come to Midnight Madness @ Gateway and see it yourself. You will appeciate the quality of work.

Correct!
Are you also waiting for shocks from Mike?

Do you have hood pins?
I am thinking about installing them so it does not flop up & down during high speed runs.

I don't know who mike is but I would like to know where and how much are the ones you ordered.
I don't have pins yet but May get some if I see an stress in the material. I think being that my hood is vented may help.
