Looking good
Was it a scary moment cutting the holes out for the exhaust knowing that there are few spare bonnets now about.
In front of the bonnet buldge has it slightly lifted the reason I ask is Luke's has lifted in this area, was just curious as this seems to be common on Saturn large scoop.
Some very nice work there...

Oh, I've done mine yesterday, too!





It looks waay better on photos than it does in real life, up close. Scratches and fingerprints stand out so much on pristine ally.
