Past that, installed and looking glorious.

EDIT: Oh, was there supposed to be a return label for the duplicate part? My second box did not contain one.

Hahaha, nice

No they decided to let us keep then

Do you have to add sales tax to each sale in the US? If you do and it doesn't apply to us, do you deduct that amount from the cost of the freight?
Just asking cos i'm a tight arse!

$99.99 means $99.99...

Whut whut! I'm the only guy I know that can make an 8MP camera take shots like a 5MP camera. Whomp whomp.

I don't know about the weather up there, but if your temps are anything like ours, it's impossible to hold a camera still. Looks great! Love how high the hood opens!

I had just bought the phone roughly 2 hours prior, so I was still figuring it out. It's actually warm in Alaska right now, just about freezing. I know Denver was a degree or two colder this morning when I woke up. I also know that Minnesota weather don't play around!

I'm not mechanically inclined, so it was slow-going getting it together, plus I needed help holding the hood up. haha But I really enjoyed putting it together! I opted to not put on the logo simply because as it sits it looks OEM.

I'm taking it to the dealer to get my oil changed today. I hope I get feedback from them about how awesome it is!

Thanks again, you guys! This is my first product from ya'll and it's made me put your brake master cylinder on my list for my next purchase!

That 99.99 USD does not include tax or shipping. Online sales in USA are only taxed when the seller has a 'physical presence' in the same US State as the purchaser. Grimmspeed is in Minnesota, so no sales tax for you or me.

The only places I've seen include tax in the advertised prices are street vendors who don't want to deal with coins smaller than a quarter while handling hot dogs and similar.

(Obvious disclaimer: I am not an accountant or tax lawyer, or a representative of Grimmspeed.)

...Also, mine just arrived and look good. To bad it's way too cold to install them.

I'll also be replacing an 'other kit' and would be happy to provide feedback.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I wanted to inform you guys that we are having email issues on our end here today. Just in case any of you have sent emails in the last 18 hours or so. We are not ignoring you, just can't see your emails yet! If you need anything give us a call, it should all be sorted out real quick. -Matt Homes

Got the hood installed last night and it looks great. I did have one mishap though...The 10mm bolt freaking broke off while I was tightening the bolt after installing the struts. Half the thread of the bolt was still in the car body....luckily i was able to use some pliers and unscrew it off. I bought some replacement bolts from home depot which were MUCH better quality. BTW - do you guys hear any noise when the hood goes all the way up?
