That first cut is always the hardest! After that, you don't care.

I'm hoping when Eagle posts the installed pics cooltoy will shop the "just sides" and "just middle" versions.

How about of a better picture of how much structure is still left under the hood too? The lighting makes it hard to see. It looks like quite a bit of the structure remains intact actually.

*edit* Not that it's going to change my decision. I'm just trying to decide if some other bracing is necessary.

with the hood shut and looking through the vents to see where the motor and stuff is? May have to use a light to see in there.

For those that just want this for looks only, is there a way to install them without cutting all the sub-frame structure?
