Wow, thanks for the update. I'm prayin for ya.

 

Thanks Jenkins. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. :o

 

did you check geminicomposites.com for a hood? thats where i got mine...CF with blue kevlar. they can make a CF with red kevlar hood that fits perfectly. just e-mail marc at marc@geminicomposites.com. super nice guy that helped me out with everything!

 

How much was your hood shipped EG??

 

it was 889 shipped. but that was canadien dollars...can't remember what that comes out to in US dollars?

 

Well homework got put on hold when I returned Martin's call today after work. I had some parts that they needed to install the new exhaust so I went to the shop, dropped them off, saw the suspension damage, went to Haslet to get my exhaust from Scalli's shop, back to Martin's to drop off more parts and I just now walked in the door. Whew! But everything is starting to fall into place. The hood and wheels are dependent on what the adjuster says this week, but if the hood can be replaced, I picked out a CF hood. :D Hopefully it'll be in stock and the adjuster says yes to 3 wheels.... then all will be sweet!!!

 

Sounds like you'll have your baby back in time for the trip! :D

 

keep your fingers crossed.

 

If you get new wheels and two of your old tires turn out good I may buy them off of you. Gideon no longer works at Hiley and he never got me hooked up on replacing my rears before he left Mine are fugg'n shot

 

congrats Tiff! i keep meaning to swing by there but i am working my *** off for the next project on the 8! should be interesting to see how your car turns out! what hood did you decide on?

 

Rotating helped mine for a while....

 

Thanks. After much deliberation, and pending what the adjuster says this week, I've decided on the Seibon KS-Style CF Hood. At first I didn't think the CF would look good w/the red, but I've looked a tons of pics and I think it'll look great.

Mr. Ed, you said you had a friend who had a hook-up on these? If the adjuster gives the ok and Seibon has them in stock, I may take you up on this. I think Martin can get a deal too, but I'm not sure.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I can only do this if the adjuster says I can. Same with the wheels although all four are damaged.

I'll keep ya'll posted!!!

 

Sounds good. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again for meeting me at the shop yesterday.

 

These are wore from burnouts

 

No probs there darl'n we were knocking out parts until about 11PM I guess.

 

It's good not to get your hopes up, everytime I do, they get knocked down...that's why I didn't on the 8, but look, I got one now :D

 

i'll talk to my friend today about the hood and see if i can get you a price.

i might not be abke to make it tonight...i'm gonna try to take my sister to a movie cause she has had a good day at school.

might have to try and fix this driver someother time. but if i get done in time i think me and walter will be making it out again.

 

Thanks. Congrats on your 1000, lol. :D

 

ok i talked to my friend about the hood and he is going to get me a price ASAP.

 

well i stopped by martins today to talk to some friends and i saw the 8. it had a nice new shiny greddy exhaust on it and no bumper. my friend also already talked to Martin about the hood so if it is going to be replaced i think you will be getting the SEIBON hood!

can't wait to see the end result!

 

When did you stop by? I went there after work and the first thing I saw was no front bumper and I thought, man that looks ugly... then I realized it was my car. :o Martin pointed out the exhaust :D and it looks great! I worked on the light bulbs on the inside, did the 3rd brake light mod, changed some outside bulbs and then started her up and listened to the exhaust. D I was having a crappy day but working on my car made it all better.

I didn't talk to Martin about the hood so that's good to hear Mr. Ed! The adjuster is coming tomorrow so we should know something about that soon and the suspension parts should be here tomorrow too!

I'm going to be out of town next week so if you stop by again, let me know how she's looking!!

 

I may have to stop by some time and check it out since I work over there :D

 

you've been over there this whole time and you've never stopped by!!! you saw the tree before my car??? i'm hurt chris, truely hurt.

j/k

 

I know your baby is in good hands :D But anytime you need me too I will go check on her for you :D

 

Thanks! I may take you up on that this week. Lots of stuff should be coming in and installed while I'm out so I'd feel better if someone else reassured me it was going ok. :o
