Looking good pal, I can never figure out how you and Clawley do all this stuff by yourselves, I can just about cook a Pot Noodle and that's my limits exceeded!!!

I can't tell in that pic but have you still got the bulge in the middle of the bonnet as it looks flat?

i bought the bonnet for the s2000 model and blended it into one of my IS200 models i had. looked the nuts.

Altho i may still do it, just on one side tho and about 1/3 of the size just behnd the supercharger.

altho i may still get my other hood with the centre scoop back into the body shop!

only reason i didnt go with mine was the bodyshop that did it (not the people that sprayed my car) somehow managed to put about 3mm of filler all over the hood!!

and until i get it all sanded back to bare metal to see how much more works involved in making it smooth i will leave it!

think they managed to warp it slightly.

i thought that with too much filler it would crack under the heat, so wanted to get my bodyshop to strip it and start again!

How have i removed the cars class ;) for a moded IS i think i have just given it a bit more class, and not only that i have to think on a way to let all that heat from the TURBO!! out :winky:

Nice if you enjoy removing the cars class. But 10 outta 10 for workmanship  :P
