I notice in your list of mods that you list a lidbone but it looks like you're using the stock prop in the pictures. Did you have problems with the lidbone?
A- I really hate to say it but within like 5 minutes after seeing the outside of the car I was already thinking that. "Wow, when this gets fixed I hope I can yank that off the old clam!"

B- My Lidbone rattled like crazy, always sounded like the motor was knocking. When it rattled it seemed like the sound reverberated through the engine lid, which deepened and amplified it. It was fine for the first couple weeks but after a while it got loose and I was never able to get it to the right mix of tight but not too tight. One night I got sick of it and took it off. That and it always hit the engine cover, leaving a mark/indention.
