The first hole is semi cut..... need to do some sanding and finish rounding off the corners but So far the aluminum hood is marvelous for cutting..... Yeah I know the hood is filthy....






Sorry for the monster sizes my cameras software doesn't like resizing properly... I ran out of cutting wheels so after a trip to the hardware store tomorrow I should be done with all the cutting... then by Thursday all of the holes should be cut and cleaned and hopefully painted

I think it'd be really cool if someone designed a hood with the S logo cut out of it. You'd have to redo the reinforcement stuff but it'd be totally ricer hot.

ohhh boy...... I have thought about putting an under hood led of some sort since I noticed the S doesn't have one from the factory. But rice has never crossed my mind

There she is everyone...... I was blown away at how much that simple mod has changed the appearance of the s2k. I still want to put a gasket around the edges. and also need to put in the screen. All that's on order. So far that is pretty much a finished product. What do ya guys think?
