fitbmxseries1 wow your body panels and hood fit very nice!! i had to put a new fender on my driverside and ive got some fitment issues still and the end of my hood next to the lights re bent up slightly because the hood latch used to stick and when ever someone would try and open the hood they would hit it right on the nose then jerk the crap out of those sides to get it to come open. now ive got even more work to do when it goes for paint but since a friend is doing it and him nad i are doing all the work after hours all i have to pay for cost of materials!!!
