Yeah if your awesome with tig or oxy, and great with body work. But once you try to fix, and blow a hole you make it 10 times harder

Check out gojeep. Is a write up on hood vents and why you want them either in the front/rear or both.

Whoa just saw a crazy *** accident on central. Some drunk dude hit about 6 or 7 cars. Probably Totaled at least 3 and his. I was maybe 2 cars in front of the last one he hit head on.
