You should totally just rock the cardboard bumper.

Until the first rainy day ...

EVAP canister .... in the trash. I hate parts that have no performance benefits.

Haha I'll have I wait till I have my steel cut before I rock the cardboard. I'd hate to have to start fresh lol! As for the evap can I wish I could toss it but I have emissions testing here so it has to stay.

Yeah my dream is the WS6 style hood but for this deal I couldn't pass up a $650 hood for essentially $65!

That sucks. I'm surprised to see that south of the Mason-Dixon.

That's one of the only good things about MA - we have a 15 model-year cutoff for emissions. Anything 15 or older is exempt ... but the catch is, good luck finding anything that old up here that isn't rusted in HALF ...

Good score on that hood! Looks sweeeeeet!
