Default Project Started!!!!!!

Guess what arrived today ...... My STINGER HOOD!!!!!

So tomorrow the long project starts and the car will be out of my hands for a while. Here is what is being done by Driven Concepts:
-Paint and mold the Stinger Hood, RKSport Canards, and RKSport Spoiler
(I chose not to have it colorblended but totally repainted)

-Rear Fascia getting painted Spiral Grey (Thought I would try something new)

-Finish installing the Black Cherry LED kit


After that Dino and his boys are taking it and installing:
3.42 Stage 2 Differential
3200 Torque Convertor
ALKY Kit

I am selling my RKSport hood to crystal since I fell in love with the other one before it was even put on.


Wish me Luck

PM ShinobZ on the forums he can get you hooked up.

It's sleek and low profile IMO looks great! (Also its getting molded to the car so there will not be that clear division like you see in the pic)


Thanks guys I will be updating this post througout the process with install pics and etc. from the bodyshop they are taking for me.
