The front hood, looks just like my civic, so my bet is you'd be safe with a metal hood.

alright.. my progress thus far. pretty much nothing. i ordered some 5w luxeon LED bulbs to replace my 3w bulbs that were not bright enough as per MO state troopers. i also test fitted the del sol bumper and well, i've got some work ahead of me. my main problem will be relocating the hood latch. also ive been searching high and low for the fenders and cant seem to find the driver side... so i think im just gonna make them. spring break is coming up and ill have enough time hopefully. also, what do you all think, should i try to go with del sol mirrors? i found a set at the junkyard. and these are the lights im looking at getting with matching black fogs as well.. what do ya think?

MUFFLER ZOMG! Get that fixed man.....super easy

should be a nice little project, i love del sol front ends.

as for the taillight, you can wire some seperate red LED's in your taillights for some security, but there are lots of people that drive all the time with fully tinted tails. How many coats of tint did you use?

Mo state troopers are ****! they dont care how much tint you have on the tail lights, they are gonna stop you! especially around Columbia!

well, i think i used somewhere around 6 coats total plus a flat clear coat... i did wet sand it though every couple of coats to give it a smooth finish.
Yeah, i know how Mo state troopers are, my neighbor is one of them. he gave me the heads up to buy brighter bulbs.
alright, so im ordering the lights soon.. hopefully tomorrow once i can check my finances. they're only 110 for the headlights and like 60 or 70 for the fogs.

Alright, so i ran into the problem of getting a hood... i found one, didnt have the truck, went home to get the truck and by the time i got back, it was gone... and my certifit doesnt have one readily available... they said 2 to 3 weeks. anyone know where i can get one with out paying a heck of alot for shipping? im willing to take a road trip if i need to so i can get this project rolling ( i live in missouri)... or are there any hoods that are close enough that some fiberglassing would do the trick?

SO.. the build is going to start Monday night around midnight or so. im driving to Certifit in KC to pick up the hood and bumper reinforcement bar monday morning. just one quick question, IF i go through the trouble of making a mold of the front fenders to fit to a 4dr EG, is anyone else interested in doing the swap if i do a write-up? i've also got my antenna re-location "kit" and im going to shave the current antenna location, but thats #3 on my list of things to do this week.
