It was completely unacceptable at first. After screwing with and cutting out some plastic bits (I understand many people would not be ok with this solution) I was able to reduce the bulging significantly. My biggest concern at first was the heat shield on my R2C intakes, but the hood still seals it just fine.

Yesterday I got stuck behind a Mustang with SVT and cobra badges but his embossed bumper said Mustang not Cobra. He was just a poser.

Today is really cold. I had frost on my roof and deck. My summer tires always make me nervous on days like today. It rained yesterday and left water on the road to turn to ice. I drove the speed limit today and I just can not believe that it it actually this slow. My only incident,if it can be called such, came as I stopped at a stop sign and I could feel a tiny loss of grip as I came to a stop in a few extra inches.

I'm tempted to go out and play in the rain if it continues tomorrow... I'm close to the break-in period, I'm sure a few slides wouldn't hurt too much.

Ordered Eibach F/R Sways/ Springs/ Rear Camber Kit + 20mm H&R DRS spacers. Can't wait to get them installed when they come in. Koni Yellows coming soon after hopefully.

I shaved down my chin spoiler the other day - it was looking a little ragged from all the curbs I've been jumping

Curb jumping!

This is the kind of shaving I was doing, see more in my build thread,

Could be better

I posted a brief review here, in the off topic thread, and in the hood strut thread. Dustin @ Z1 has already offered to send over a replacement locking pin (I think I lost one and had to fabricate my own) and has asked for pictures of the hood bulge. It was a lot worse before, but after cutting away some plastic it is better now and may be difficult to get good photos of it. :shrugs:

It's raining today so I was stuck behind another car so I worked on my line. I felt so in control at these low speeds.
