So about that hood, Yes I usually fit everything before paint but due to the time schedule I decided to go ahead and paint it well that wasnt the smartest thing to do, after about 6 hrs of moving adjusting and slotting some holes we pulled the hood off for the 100th time and found out that the left side holes were drilled about 3/8 of and inch to low, not a big deal normally most fiberglass/carbon fiber hoods have steel or aluminum plates glued in them so you can just drill different holes not this hood so I drilled new holes welded the new nut to the rear of there threaded plugs and epoxy'd them in, so I decided to send it home without the hood so I can slot the hood and use fiber glass resine to secure them better, we wont even go into the inner fenderliner hell we went through. Thanks for the comments guys and I also have a spot open if anyone needs some work done!!!
