True. The lower part of the headlight housing is tucked below the bumper and there is also a bolt holding the bottom of the headlight tucked down under the headlight assembly

Yes,i went through the photographs,gret job.Unfortounaly in order to remove the headligth the whole front has to come off,thats why i made the brackets,the front fascia has a guide that slide into the bottom of the headligth,really sucks.

My GTS-3 is fresh out of the body shop. Now I just have to mount my CDC Classic spoiler to finish it off. But that won't be until I bolt on the intercooler next month.

Your going to want to invest in some hood pins if you do any highway driving. Trust me. I just bought some from Shelby

George,JMO but I would run the stripes all the way down. Also,I wasn't thrilled w/ the front chin spoiler at first but I'm glad I added it on later. With the agressiveness of our hoods,I think it brings it together nicely. JMO of course

I just went out for a quick drive up to 115 mph and there was no shake at all. My stock hood used to dance all over the place.

I was the same for about 2 months or so. No hood shake no matter what speed in any weather condition. Then the hood shake appeared atfter the initial 2 months. It shakes in any type of windy weather on the highway only, not city driving.

Hey you guys with the KR style hoods, do you have any side profile shots? And what are all of them made out of? I have the CDC hood struts and have been told them + fiberglass = no no. I'm looking at the Cervini type IV hood and am sold on the look from the front, but for the full ram air package its an extra 270 over the Trufibers.
