Can or doe's that remove quickly and replace without alignment issue's??
Nope your design has it beat there. Its just as quickly removable as a stock hood. I do like your design, utilitarian and well executed. But the hover is what catches my eye, i absolutely love it.

If you wouldnt mind getting a pic of the area you modified.
I do like that idea of having the hover and having the hood operate as normal.

Justin is right Bohemio about having a tricky time tucking and turning with a static drop. Your best chance would be with an 8.5 wheel

I should refrase, I'm going with a static drop first (2.5/4) and as soon as more $ is available I'd like to bag it. So, what are your wheel specs, Anahiem?

Thanks!

Why invest the time and money when you can just keep saving and then bag it sooner then expected?
