    My G's getting new paint

    This is whats up. Old paint was all cracked and chipped so I needed to prime it, but here is my progress so far





    A little taste of the new paint. I used the hood, cuz it ill be trashed after, cuz I'll be getting humpless hood



    Still sanding down the primer, and hopefully by the end of this weekend it will be ready to paint.

    You talking about the bump in your hood that is over the timing belt cover?

    I dunno about your car, but I thought that is required for the cover to clear the hood? Or is that only on the 4g63's?

    Nope, It has nothing to do with clearance. The hood frame is all straight, w/o bumps on it, but the metal sheet on top has it.


    Sorry, double post

    I'm pretty sure the hump was for the DOHC cars, like the GS, but since they quit making the GS they quit putting the hump on. i'm sure they went the cost effective route, one car, one style hood for all types. i personally like my hump, and now it will have a funtion.
