finally done (i had to move the water and A/F gauge. temp gauge was about 2 inches short of where i needed it to go to so i just switched places)

cant see but had to drill a hole in the firewall for the temp and oil lines. went to the local hardware store and got a grommet to make it look pro

Car sounds real healthy. That combo of body parts and wheels is one of my favorites by far... :thumbsup:
BTW, do you notice much heat exiting the holes in the cowl of the hood? I was thinking about cutting the holes out in mine if it
aided in pulling some heat out of the engine bay.

it would be interesting to do a side by side test on temp changes on a stock hood vs a cowl with holes cut in it. never had the temp gauge going until after i put the hood on. I figure it might drop temps a bit but nothing more than a couple degrees. driving i do see heat radiating out of the holes a lot tho

What size are the fr500's? They look great on your car by the way.
