First of all I want to say I love this car and if it were around a little over a year ago I would've jumped all over it but I found an 08 vista blue already but here's a free bump.
Second, I have a stock 08 Vista Blue hood for sale in the market section. It comes with hood pins and struts so you don't need the hood prop rod. Perhaps someone would want it if they're buying your car. Would that blower fit under the stock hood anyway? GLWS
