Yah i originally put the hood on for a couple days to make sure it fit, but were having unusually mild weather lately so ive left it on, itll prolly come off soon

Yah jon it fit, but i had to cut the studs and threading the nuts was a b****. but it fit, i thought of ceramic coating it, but thought it was too late now, does that stuff you were talking about "bake" by running it? that would be cool haha, maybe ill do that, dont know what color though

Thanks for the replies!

 

Looks good,the hood looks like the bumpers have yo be lower?Did you have to lower the latch also,i have the same one had to do that?Love the turbo.

 

Yea, it says that it can cure by running the car for like 30 minutes idling. Using the oven, you need to heat it, then let it cool, heat it higher, let it cool, etc.

Yea, took some work to do, thats why i'm ticked about it not fitting.

 

Damn, I didnt even know your ass posted this thread already lol. Everything looks great on your car hunni..especially your damn engine bay..its so clean (you know Im jealous tongue.gif).

Thanks for pointing me out while I was sleeping and had that hood hovered over me! tongue.gif

 

Awwww....Thats so cute. Sorry I had to. But looking good dude, i mean Hunni. Haha.
Two turbo tibs in one family.....niiiccceee

 

yeah where did you find the deal on the hood? was that before shipping?

oh btw, in one pic there the vortech isn't hooked up to vacuum... I'm assuming that's fixed now?

oh and are you getting a cel on just having a breather on the idle air bypass? I was planning on welding a small pipe on mine just before the tb to attach it to, like it is stock.

 

That hood and turbo look awesome. I wish I could find a CF hood for the Elantra.

Is tht breather filter on the idle control? How is the idle. I wonder if I need too do that

good work......

 

Yea how does that work. Since the car is MAF and everything, i dont see how thats possible. Im not really positive on this so if Im wrong please explain how it is working on your car.

 

welp looking at these pics makes me even more excited , because I just ordered that hood! I cant wait for it to come in.. I paid a little more, but with the dmg, on my car, i saved 250.00, instead of just getting a factory hood and painting it..

Awesome!

 

What sort of numbers do you think you are getting on 5psi? Do you reckon you are likely to get it dyno'd if you haven't already?
