Thanks every one. It still needs a bit of work. If you look closely at the front of the scoop the gap between the two halves is not quite strait. Also there are a few pin holes to fill, but all in all I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Thanks again.

That's some nice work there, mister. I'm eager to see your work on the dash.

Dang! Even the hood design is amazing! What next?? You're right though. There's definitely a huge amount of help on this forum. Oh, and I have enough lambo models at my house as it is. But thanks though 
See you around!

Thanks everyone! Pluses to those who don't already have them. Well, once I get the front of the scoops straight, I will work on the stage two scoops. I will continue to post the progress on those in this thread too. I may not be able to do much work on the car for the next month due to time commitments, but we'll see how it goes.

While not an update (more of a bump actually) I have not done any further work to the hood yet. But here are my seats which have been recovered with a set of Mr. Mike's covers that I had purchased during his Christmas Sale. If you are looking for seat covers I highly recommend Mr. Mike, it's quite easy to do too.
Here are a before and after shot:

OK! Well I had a minor set back. While cleaning my garage ,as I couldn't stand the dust and the clutter anymore, I killed my cheap POS oiless compressor. 
See Nice and clean:

Here is the victim who met his maker:

I think that all the work sanding and spraying slightly exceeded the poor thing's duty cycle and fried the cylinder/piston  My fault really for trying to be cheap. Word to the wise, if you are thinking of buying a compressor the one that you are looking at probably isn't big enough or of sufficient quality. I though that I could get away with a "smaller" 32 gallon unit and justified it by thinking it wouldn't be used all that much. Boy was I wrong!
But All is not lost. I purchased a relatively decent quality single stage upright 240V 60 gallon compressor. Since I had the dead compressor as well I figured I might as well utilize it's pressure tank as a secondary air receiver to increase the systems overall capacity to 92 gallons:

Anyways, I haven't been able to finish the hood scoop, front fenders and stage two scoops for lack of air. I should be able to get to them this weekend hopefully.
Sigh, I shoulda known better.

Hey Nolan, On the compressor...Did it just stop pumping? Mine broke a reed valve. It was easy and fairly cheap to fix, but since you have a new one already, it's just an FYI...

Unfortunately it wasn't just the valve, I cooked it pretty good!
