Looks great, they did a good job on it

looks good cant even tell

Nice, still no hood pins though?

first of all the car looks perfect, the shop did a great job, that's a hard area to fix... i've heard of some people even totalling out cars from severe cowl damage


i'm going to be putting on a 3" H.O. fibertrends cowl on my car in the next few weeks... what are some options for making sure this NEVER happens to my car haha... i know hood pins are the obvious choice but i've seen some locking ones on muscle cars at shows that i can't find on any site... any ideas?

How much did it cost?

We have little to nothing in this one except for a few hours of our time working on it.

The car is currently under going full bodywork in preparation for a nice coat of Oxford White.

looks good....I know this sounds like an absolutely retarded question but how do you get the wiper off?lol I'm an idiot.

 

[Pietrasz4]

Well to fix the cowl panel it cost me $670 for everything, and $150 to pull out the radiator support.

lol there are little tabs on the wipers that you lift up and you can adjust the wipers/take them off

I'm just a big dumbass so just disregard it. But again, they did a great job
Edit: I meant the arms, not the actual blade itself.

 

[Pietrasz4]

That is for the wiper arm. At the base of it where the circle motor for the arms are (you can see in the pics) there will be a little tab on the base of the arm just pull it up and you can remove the whole arm.

Just use a small cable to hold the hood down...works good
