    Well, not really. Until I get it fixed from the whole hood meets windshield incident, my hood opens like this now. Lol. It does look kinda cool like that actually.

    Yeah, the hood still closes. I could probably mod it to make it open like that normally if I wanted to. heh.

    If it closes properly and it can open like that. I think you can mod the braces to have it open like that. I kinda like the way it opens now.

    is the hood messed up also or are you gonna put some hood pins on it or something? Man I'm glad me and my friend just ordered some hood pins for his Acura legend cause his CF hood flaps and vibrates a bit during high speeds.

    The hood's messed up. It didn't need pins... it just wasn't closed even to the safety latch. I'm putting gunmetal grey ones on the new hood though.

    Just 4 cracks that can be fixed. It's really not that bad. If interested, I'll see if I can try to get the body shop to keep it. It's got locking hoodpins installed at the moment, but I can sell those with the hood.
