Your car is looking sick! Where did you end up getting your hood?

That one place that we agreed not to talk about
The windshield wiper fluid poured all over the hood and it sat there so long that not even wax would take it out... So today I bought some stuff from kragen and buffed it and polished it like crazy.
It's looking pretty good now. Looks like the same color as my car! Now I don't have to get it painted!

Eh, didn't do much this time, this is more for showing you my car how it looks clean 
I painted the hood vent black again, because the paint was chipping pretty bad.
I also colored a few interior pieces silver
aaand I also got the rubber thingy between the bumper and hood to fit nicely.
Here ya go;

Silver eh? I like that. Do you have more of a closeup?

copy cat silver and black ftw
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
This car is looking great. It's come a long way since the first page and considering painting the factory rims bronze. Keep up the good work

x2 Go the aluminum!
Wow this is starting to look alot like a black version of my car !!
EDIT: Have you clear coated that yet? I never clear coated mine, but it is due for a respray as some areas have started to rub off over time (Only did 1 coat, now starting to see little bits of black again.) When yours becomes is due for a respray use Terps and a toothbrush to rub it all off and start again.

Thanks for the comments guys! It's a joy coming home to suggestions and support!

I'll take a few and pm them to you over the weekend

Haha, yeah definitely, thanks man!

I did like 4 coats on mine. I'm going to take them off and do a respray, though, because there's some spots I messed up on. And thanks for the suggestion!

My friend thought it was an intercooler!

Fog lights will probably be put on this weekend. And I'll try to find myself some clear indicators and turns also. I'm not a big fan of the yellow, either

Funny you should ask, because this random box from Spectorious came today.
And for the lulz;
I'm definitely repainting all of them before I put them on. Anyone know a good place to get them painted?
