SIMOTA1's journal....

So ive figured out wtf is wrong with my damn PWJDM covers... the stupid people that made it.... made it so damn thick where the two bolts area (center portion)

it was about 1/4 thick or it had a big air bubble on both sides... this was the reason why it was not sitting properly.... i almost cracked the cover because i was slamming the hood to close it

luckily i noticed the stress cracks forming...

Now here is the shitty part, saturday when i installed it, i made the slots even longer so that the holes would line up that was a big no no.... since the holes are bigger the cover moves around now. I needa re fiberglass the holes and then drill the holes once more... If i dont do this the cover will hit my hood sometimes, if i get lucky it doesnt hit. I opened and closed my hood about 20 times after i address the center portion and it hits about 50% of the time... I dont want that especially after i have it recleared... ive already dropped off the battery compartment covers to get cleared

a lil update.... i fixed the cooling plate... thank god... i filled it with fiberglass and got the holes exactly

so all the pieces are at the body shop right now and getting clear coated....

so ive decided to add another piece to my ongoing engine bay.... i will most likely get the Top secret oil catch cans instead of the arc and the Top secret strut bar that way everything is Top secret.... after all is said and done... i believe my car deserves this...

i wanna do the stripes on the hood and roof....

what do you guys think...? in matte black with a silver 1/8 pinstripe OR no pin stripe.... input is greatly appreciated
