Entirely off-topic, but that's the Erebuni hood, right? Is that closed and properly fitted?

The hood fits fine when i'm not using the latch, which you see in the picture. Hood pins take good care of that issue.

the hood can be adjusted to fit better than whats in the pic
i dont use pins and it is flusj with headlights/bumper
look at pic in link and you can kinda see how you can adjust it to close lower

I got a pretty good deal from a local 240 guru.. this guy did it for 800 including supplies but i offered him another 200 for some body work and probably a tip.
