Looking really good!

I can see your mom's 03 in the garage in the background. Tell her you want the garage from now on.





As for saving the moulding on the front lip of the hood... You might find someone looking to replace a damaged one on their car. If you can get it off without too much difficulty, you might get a few bucks for it. If the hood is being junked anyway, why not?

Heh, funny you mention that about the trim. It's already damaged. I think the hood has already been replaced from a Lumina. Ya know how these are normally attached with studs going through the hood?(my aunt's 97 LS is anyway) There are no holes drilled in the hood for them, and it is clear that the studs were sawed off and it's held on with double sided foam tape. I had to replace the tape after I got it. And it's nasty underneath. Rusty... So, I gotta have it on there to hide that stuff.

I can understand that. Those trim mouldings look like the would give the water someplace to just sit and start the hood rusting. Oh well, it was a thought.

I like the trimless Z34 look in that one picture you posted. I like the look of the Z34's in general.

Me too. Mines kinda becoming a Z34 clone, lol. I have the Z34 nose(although its from a Lumina LTZ). I'm on the hunt for a red Z34 front badge and red bowtied center caps. Already have the red one on the back.
