Well to your defense, the hood is not shut, but lifted up, maybe to show the engine, maybe not to show the flaws of the hood...and uhm, thats a totally different spoiler on the back of that car...

yeah well he also has a custom body kit that was hand made... that nobody else will ever have.. and um not to be a downer but nobody has ever seen anything about his engine rebuild or anything. and really he said he was putting 460 whp downat 6 psi i want to see the dyno...sheets. where are the specifics on this car.. still no details anywhere.. i dont dout the car isnt fast or does not put down some good numbers.. but prove it. ok back OT lets see close ups of it closed.. see how the fitment is.. i am sure HIGH END did alot of tweeking.. when he did the body kit...

Thanks for this review, i actually ordered the hood and spoiler and roof car last week, im cancelling my order now. I just got laid off too, this stuff was already paid for so i said to hell with it ill just keep it its paid for, but if its crap i dont even want it now.

Oh my... That's horrible! That's one POS product. Sorry you had to find out the hard way, Wezbian.

That camera is custom mounted in there, the guy at the body shop put a lot of work into this and although i hate the glue, it was the only way to make it work! Now I have to sell the trunk with spoiler and make a trade for someone's stock camera (the camera is $450 btw)....
