            Hood no fit... sad.

            Axe me how I know. That's why I welded the Lip portion to my tracer hood... I first tried to swap my nicely cutout hood onto the wagon, then when I found it was all wrong, I said eff it, buzzed off the dropped portion with a sawzall, and ground the hood along the mating line, then tacked it in place, adjusted it, and finished the welds.

                Yep... A lot more work, for a more OEM (kind of) look. (looks wrong still) Maybe it would work on a black wagon better than a Copper GT. Or maybe if that copper car ever got finished, Eric, I could see what the finished result is, and make up my mind then.

                          I want to see what it looks like where the fenders meet the doors


                          Comment


                            I think the laser/escort fender only needs to have the front turn signal part swapped and it will look right. You cant just slap on pro fenders, the body lines are different.

                                For a slanted hood though, you have to either hybrid the fenders or the hood. I chose hood because it was easier. Once I do body/paint on the wagon, I'm going to blend the hood, and swap in infini corners and edm slant headlights. That will be a lot less work than full hybrid fenders. And the only feature I lose is the 323 back of hood lip. But I gain the tiny tracer cowl too, so...

                                Sorta, pick your poison, kind of thing.
