You didn't list... what's the deal with the hood? :)

Edit: Looking at it, it looks like a 2001 Mustang GT scoop.

I honestly dont remember what the scoop was off of ... I think we just got a universal scoop from Extreme Dimensions and made the hood.

its actually a Mango Kandy Coat with a Metallic Pearl ... the carbon was becoming really hazy due to a poor coast from the manufactor and we did not catch it in time ... so it was either a carbon with gray haze ... or carbon with a Mango Kandy

opted for the 2nd of course

I think the new set up looks really integrated. I like the original version as well but the colors were so different it looked kinda like you weren't quite done with it yet. That is really an awesome Element and you should be very proud of it the quality of work really comes through in the pics, would love to see it in person at some point. Drew:cool:

still working out the details ... I have a prior commitment that weekend but im trying to talk my sponsors into letting me change events.

Its all politics when it comes to this, they need to make sure the product in the car is getting as much attention as possible.

I know this is an old thread, but this vehicle was actually at the shop when I had my E in today.

Pics are great, but it needs to be physically seen to appreciate all the work that has been done.

Awesome work, Ian, and a special thanks for letting my 5 year old son sit in it; he's still talking about the horn :razz:
