Looks great Ben! Love the hood! Wasn't sure about the spoiler but it looks really good IMO including the additions to cover the holes. How do you like the finished product?

Decent, the SSE Rear Valance is a little bulkier than I was hoping for. I think the shop could have done better on some of the detail stuff. This winter I am going to have the extensions removed and the holes filled. I am also going to remove the SSE Rear Valance and go with a California Special Bumper Cover. I wish I had seen one of those before I added the SSE Rear Valance. Also, will be making a list of items for the body shop to correct. Car has dust in places I didn't even know it had.

It came from Americanmuscle.com. It is the Cervini's 05 Concept Hood. Since they included shipping to a business they were slightly cheaper than Cervini's.

I had the SSE at one time to, and also took it off. It looks different in person than it does in pics. I also being going with either the GT/CS or the 3d carbon replacement bumper, which looks awesome to.

Yep, to boxy and bulky for me behind the rear tires. So either way with GT/CS or not I think it will come off this winter. I like the look from the rear with the difusers. How hard was it to remove and get rid of the tape?

Nice! Looks great. I like the hood as well, doesn't seem as bulky as the California Dream version.

It wasn't hard at all. Once the sides are unscrewed from the wheelwell the tape almost pulls right off from the weight.

I thought the diffusers were ok, but they just stood out way to much on my white car. Looking at your pictures, it stands out way too much on your color to. The SS rear fascia looks better with dark blue and black stangs.
