Hmm. You took the rear strut mount bolts off, right?

It should just lift straight up.

I painted my engine cover but didnt like the grains so did sand those down and paint it, IMO smooth feel looks much better

I painted my covers as well as the raidator cover in the front. I have failed to post pics as of yet but I did it about a month ago so you are not the first. Mr & Mrs can atest to how it looks if he chimes in. Also robert I havnt heard from you in a while when we doing those hood struts for you?

Mr&Mrs · 03-01-2011, 09:50 PM

Yes I remember you from the jax meet, I also remember you saying you were going to send me friend request. Still waiting =P

Hey Kelly sorry I have been working crazy hours still trust me I want to hang out asap!

Also Kelly did have this done a little bit ago, I forgot about that. It looks really good!
