Thanks guys!!

Adam... I have one..but my cell is so much more handy. Maybe i'll start using it since I got a new Lap-Top and it's a cinch to uplaod now.. Anyways..

SMall Update:

Was able to get the hood back on....I needed Hood-pins installed so I picked up some Aero-Catch Hood pins. Measured everything out and started cutting. I don't know.... but the install took me a good 4 hours to complete. It was a process because the CF hood needed some major dremmeling to get the backing plates of the pins in the correct position. But the end result came out nice...check it out:

I still need to adjust my Headlight buckets just a tad as one of them is almost under the hood on the inside edge.

and then this happened when I was aligning the Gates to the hood holes. I seriously loosened it just fine...then as soon as there was the SLIGHTEST bit of tension the bolt snapped...
SOAB

I called Synapse and the guy was nice...said he'd send me a new clamp for free if I pay shipping. But I think i'm over T-bolt clamps.. I'd rather have the turbosmart style clamps with the Allen head bolts. I'll do more research and see if they'd even fit.

More Updates soon!
