RayYay · 08-17-2009, 04:20 PM

i cant see why it would be illegal.... big rigs have dick loads of chrome all over them and no one cares.

plus the hood is pretty much horizontal anyway.

RayYay · 08-17-2009, 04:34 PM

Yeah but what if you're driving around when someone is, let's say, skydiving. You could blind them

Honda007 · 08-17-2009, 06:52 PM

Lol, How are u going to go about stripping the paint? Acid dip? Brake cleaner could work with a little work.

lonestarbuzz · 08-18-2009, 07:44 AM

brake fluid would work, too.

Hey, that's not funny!

Neil · 08-18-2009, 08:01 AM

Go to a wood stripping company and they will dip the hood in a chemical bath, done asap. Then polish.

hmmmm any ideas on cost? i was going to use aircraft remover but this sounds much more appealing.

Neil · 08-18-2009, 04:55 PM

Look for an electro plating company too. Have it stripped in about 30 mins. Might be worth the extra bucks laddy !

Neil · 08-18-2009, 04:57 PM

Being aluminum watch the heat generated by orbital mechanical devices. May distort the contour of the hood.

jagg · 08-18-2009, 05:27 PM

" dick loads " of chrome....?

Dear Lord, must we be so vulgar?

We both know, it's ass loads of chrome.

Can't wait to see the result, T6.
On the hood, nuthin' else bro.

jagg

turbosix · 08-19-2009, 08:27 AM

heading out on my hour drive redneck style... yeeehaww wheres mah mullet?

sebring hood installed, doesnt look too bad. its a shame im taking all the paint off.

TheSoundMan21 · 08-19-2009, 08:31 AM

well strip the paint off your hood not that one =]

turbosix · 08-19-2009, 08:32 AM

you know how hard it is to find a GPW hood? F that!

TheSoundMan21 · 08-19-2009, 08:36 AM

lol alright

midwesta · 08-19-2009, 09:54 AM

This will be dope.

turbosix · 08-19-2009, 10:21 AM

I just emailed a chroming company for an idea of the cost of getting the hood coated with copper or nickel (after i polish it) and the estimate was around $2k, jesus!

TheSoundMan21 · 09-24-2009, 11:03 AM

we have any updates on this? even though your car is in the shop you could have it ready since you have the time.

lonestarbuzz · 09-24-2009, 11:52 AM

it's actually pretty sick. i didn't think i would like it, but then i saw it in person and was impressed. it would look nice on suzuka because it reflects the sky very well.

i am trying to find a palm sander, i dont wanna spend $40 on one when i know i have one somewhere in the garage but ij ust cant find it

TheSoundMan21 · 09-24-2009, 12:52 PM

Fight back. Start pooping in their nests. Or the trees next to your house. Imagine those birds flying back to their nests only to discover that their eggs are covered in a big steamy pile of

!

turbosix · 09-28-2009, 08:26 AM

wetsanded the hood with 800 grit and repolished a corner.

i might go finer, not sure, it looks like a fvcking mirror though

TheSoundMan21 · 09-28-2009, 08:32 AM

That is sweet...

Not illegal. Even the Audi would be legal here.
