looks good. I think the si grill would work better with the agressive projectors. Also, the paint looks different on the trunk where you shaved them emblem. Is that a photochop?

I'm glad you went with the OEM style hood!

Thanks. I think I am going to go with the Si grill. The paint is different on the trunk. When I shaved the emblem I did not have the right color silver paint.

I got it off Ebay I don't think the guy will take it back. That is why I asked if there is anyway to fix it. My dad said that polyester resin would work. It did happen during shipping b/c he said it was not like that before he sent it. As for the future plans I am going to be changing the headlights, getting a set of Rota Slipstreams, and putting a B18C1 engine in it. There might be more but I can' think of any right now.

No. It was shipped through Greyhound.

GPX offers shippers the ability to purchase additional "declared" value for shipments exceeding the standard $100.00 value declaration.
