Not Ranked
A few months ago the passenger side handle pulled out of the hood when i tried to lift it, so without thinking, i mindlessly reached for the front of the hood scoop and pulled on it to lift the hood. The rivets that were used to put the scoop on were not long enough and several in the front of the scoop pulled out. That would not be a problem, but the hood was painted after it was riveted in place and the paint had puddled around the curve in the front of the scoop. So, the paint peeled up and then chipped pretty bad around the front right corner of the scoop. I am sure the neighbors enjoyed some of the choice words that flew out of my mouth right after this occurred.
Chip-it actually looked much worse in person.
New Button head bolts. Some will probably not like them, but i think they look good.
Sanded down and ready to go to the paint shop for more sanding, prep, and to have the stripes sprayed.
Underside of scoop. I am not sure if we can match the blue paint, so i might just sand and polish the underside of the scoop.
