no, but I can soon. Basically a receiver on one of the back seats broke, but only the plastic portion of it. Made me a little frustrated because thats the only flaw in the interior. The head liner was re-done. Has a cd player with XM radio wired in. The doors are like a 3 tone tan. I need a new steering wheel. my leather is deteriorating and it bugs me. No cracks in my dash

No, actually I preferred a wider stripe too. But I left it up to the guy that did the work. He wanted the same size stripe entering the hood louvers and matching the size of the way it exits the louvers. That's the only area that their that thin. Unfortunately that's the focal point of cars. Overall I'm very pleased though. Since the stripes have gone on I've been given complements to a bunch of strangers at gas stations, and even at a stop light. One person asked if it was for sale

Ok I see where you got bored then haha that sh*t sucks, what shop did you get your car done at, FYI never ever ever ever go to the candy shop off of 190 goin near the tank destroyer gate. That place will screw your car up and leave you with a nasty paint job!!

flaps came with the car. Let me guess, take them off? Ive been told before they don't look good.

One thing about Hood is, they're housing is all over the spectrum. Meaning, nice and terrible
