It's spot welded. Windshield needs to be removed and lower cowl may have to be repaired or replaced.

Mine had holes in the lower cowl as well, it was a big job to remove and replace.

That's the one question everybody always asks. I think I might go black with carbon fiber sticker racing stripes. Very little chrome, and maybe tinted windows. I want this car to look like something that was spawned from hell.

That sounds great. In that case, may I suggest a shaker air intake and Borla Stingers?

I would skip the CF and maybe just go with flat black. Just my opinion. The front suspension is looking great. What are you doing for a rear suspension setup? Adjustable 4link and mini tubs sounds like a big win.

Love the shaker hood scoop idea, it's in the plans already... As for the exhaust I really like the sound of Flomasters.

Alright! That's going to look sick.

You got a nickname for it?

Hellspawn? Dark Steed? Black Knight?
