Thanks T-Rock(Tom) for all the help, and everyone that will be over helping out during the week, thanks in advance!!

I was just curious. Are you going to freshen up the finish on the cf (does it need it?) or possibly spray it red with the rest of the car? It's pretty neat that you're investing the time and money to bring your Prelude back to showroom condition. I just hope you don't get too stressed out about the first ding or chip that rears its ugly head after all that work!

The hood is unfourtanetly trashed, a HUGE tree limb came down on it cracking it, it cant be fixed crappy enough so I'm just going to buy a new one! And im sure I will get a little ticked about the first dent or door ding but I know how people are and can be, and stuff happens and its just a car not the end of the world.

T-Rock(Tom) and I test fitted the fenders and headlights and oh am I excited! Even for aftermarket fenders then fit very good suprisingly!

Thanks for all the help TOM!!
