[Yofavcracka]

haha yes! i figured "hey, it was sittin in my garage doing nothing anyways, might as well do something with it. haha."

[ND4SPD]

totally... a few years back in my basement / computer room, I had rims as a coffee table, tires as end tables, my 2 racing seats were my recliner chairs... I had the tv+ps2 setup, and I distinctly remember playing Gran Turismo whilst my mother just looked at me and shook her head. :tongue:

FTW = For The Win

[IH8CIVX]

[AndrewM6097]

Grant, where did you get your carbon fiber hood? I would like to get one soon. And if you dont mind, how much did you pay for it??

[Yofavcracka]

zxtuner.com
contact Rob (owner) and tell him i told you about it.
i got it for 330 dollars. I picked it up, so i avoided any shipping charges. But hes a great guy to work with.

[AndrewM6097]

330? wow that seems like a deal. Would you have any idea how much it would cost to ship that thing? Im all the way up in Mass

[Yofavcracka]

https://zxtuner.com/displayProductDocument.hg?productId=137&categoryId=23

apparantly he upped the price a lil bit. its 360 or something, and 80 bucks for shipping. but ive seen there shipping stuff, and itll defintely keep it safe.

[AndrewM6097]

still thats a good deal. Thanks! i'll have to keep that in mind when i get the cash

[Yofavcracka]

no problem, if u need any pics of the carbon fiber to show detail and quality, dont hesitate to ask.

[Comando489]

how hard is it to install?

[AndrewM6097]

it involves taking off your old hood and putting the new one on :) and adding soom hood pins

[Yofavcracka]

30 minutes to take off 4 bolts that holds your stock hood latches, and bolt down the new hood. then since i have hoodpins AND stock latch, it took me 2 hours to get the latch mechenism to be in the correct position for the hood's latch.

i have put stock hoods on cars at my internship but is it hard to line up the latch and stuff?

[Comando489]

and how do hood pins connect to the hood? is it like a wire type deal or something?

There are a lot of different hood pins. I have Sparco's and the pin/plate are screwed into the hood. Two holes get drilled onto the frame of the radiator mount where the pole (the part the pin slides into) is at.

[orkachowski99]

.....the part the pin slides into.....

[Monkeygrits]

[dj_sark]

I can see that you are very creative. You can actually turn a car piece into a wall design. I can only imagine what other creative things you can do with your cougar.
