Finally got up the nerve today with the sun out and shiny. Grabbed a few plastic razor blades, an 1800w hair dryer, pulled the car out of the garage and went to work de-striping the hood. After 30 minutes under the sun and getting the corner raised with a plastic razor blade (great little items for such projects...won't cut into or bump scuff the paint) and adding some heat with my wife's hair dryer those 8-year-old stripes came off like a snake shedding its skin. Cleaned the access wax lines off and after a cleaning and coat of sax you never would know they were there all those years. Below is before and after. So much cleaner now I think, and without the 90's decal look. Paxton kit ships next week. They received the intercoolers today, are welding them up with the mounting brackets and they should be ready to ship 5.31.22. Mods will commence week of June 5 and hopefully all goes well and we get some dyno sheets to be proud of AND a car that will perform up to or better than the numbers indicate.
