Nice ride. 
Could you tell us the source for that hood vent?
And how did you finish it off underneath? Did you have to cut up the front compartment that houses the spare, or not?

The vent is none other the the renowned "Warber Hood Vent" highly respected around the industry as the optimum way of releasing air pressure buildup from under the car at high speeds and substantially improving handling. V8 Archie is the curator and patent owner of this device. The way he installs it is perfectly algined between the trunk(?) and the radiator. AND, its sexy! I get a lot of people asking about it. A must have.
The treatment I used to dress up the front and back deck lids is an automotive insulation that is 1/4" rubber with an adhesive back. Let me tell you that cutting everthing to fit was labor intensive. But it looks good.

Now a picture of locating the transmission mounting bracket for the front
And a shot locating the transmission mounting bracket for the rear of the G6. Check out how clean my nails are! I had them done by a cute little Vietnamese girl just for this photo.

Me too! i've been working on this car forever. I still have stuff I'm most unhappy with. I wish I could get to the point of really enjoying whats been done. My focus seems to always be on the imperfection rather than the perfection. Anybody know a good therapist?
