Lookin good boss.

Looks like the Scoot hood fitment was better around the headlights than the RE.. or is it my eyes?

How do the wheels fit BTW? I know you got them.. but how do they look on the car?

The wheels look crazy dude...... The stance of the car needs to be adjusted but anyhow...

Actually the hood fits better than the old Scoot. It's the lights that are too big. I had to shave some material off the old scoot hood to make the lights fit so I'll have to do the same to this amemiya hood too. Don is going to fix all the body gaps too so it will have stock sized gaps... I'm pretty stoked about that.

You better get your bucket ready for the revolution...

I could have built it myself - but I'm tired of cleaning grease out from under my fingernails. And Ron doesn't have time to **** with it.. He has PLENTY of work to keep him busy; the parking lot is a dead giveaway! Besides, I'm moving into a new house and really don't have time. 50+ hours a week on base, full time college... you know. Easier to just pay someone to do it.

Really? Is that it? Man, and I thought this was one of those OEM hybrid 7 that only used electric power and solar cells that absorbed energy through the vents in the hood...
