front strut bar. I covered it in black vinyl (looks like leather) and it really looks good IMO. The carbing would touch the top of the hood in spots and get scratced in places. Now there is a cusion between the strut bar and the hood insulator. I'll post pics in the near future, as soon as I buy my digital camera. I've had it on for 3 months with no problem with heat or anything else. But getting back to your job.....well done.
