Thanks Pines! I guess i missed the noodles  (but the budget on this car has me eating these agin like in back in college :LL: ) No the hood filler piece only needs 2 I just ordered 4 because shipping was the same no matter how many I ordered I wish I would have ordered about a dozen of them!

Glad you found them elsewhere, it would be easier to get them form a Audi dealer then calling the Lambo dealerships!

Ordered these little Hood adjuster plunger things from Lamborghini in Palm Beach, all 4 were 30 dollars shipped! $10 dollars was the flat rate, If i would have thought I would have ordered a bunch more  ::duh anyway here is what they look like. They go on all the Audi cars, Gallardo's, Murci's, etc

The car is looking great man!

Hey, did those Top Ramen noodles come free with the hood bumpers? ;)

So I assume the hood actually needs 4 of these? I thought it only needed two. ::scratch

Thanks for the info on these. I have confirmed they are found on the '07 to '09 Audi Q7. I have added them to my Off-the-Shelf Parts for the Murcielago post. Anyone know if these same bumpers are used on the Aventador? I wouldn't be surprised.

If I don't have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?

Haven't made much progress (story of my life  zzz:) ) This weekend I messed with the wiper assembly a little, it is all mounted with brackets, etc. Only draw back that I can see is I will need to run a remote brake reservoir kit to clear the articulating arm. Here is how it looks.

Also ordered my back glass.

Pulled the dirty car out to let it sunbathe while I cleaned the shop out earlier this week.

Ive been working on modifying my "shark mouth" to accept the digital gauges. Ive only worked on it for about 45 min but here are some pictures to show what I am going for.

The black square is a magnet/wireless charger that they just came out with for the Nexus 7. That holds the tablet in place, keeps it charged and makes it easily removable if needed.

I know it looks kinda goofy with the grey back ground but I'm either going to put a black lexan back ground or paint the whole shark mouth in the OEM type rubber coating that Lamborghini uses on the "shark mouths"

Your headlights came out perfect!  Is there any way you can post some pictures of the back to see how you mounted the lights and sealed them up?  Thanks bud.


Ya I will send you some pictures, it was no easy task let me tell you!

Car looks awesome! What windshield did
You use?


It's a Maxima windshield that is setup for the G28 windshield opening

Your car is looking amazing!!! I can't wait to see it all one color! Is your body a Watson kit? If so how hard was it to get the whole thing?


Im so ready to see it in one color! The body is a G28 and I visited with John last year and picked up bumpers, side rockers, side scoops and several other items

I love the digital dash, can I get the links and prices on this setup please?

Just sat and watched the working lights  front and rear video , 3 times in a row .... brilliant  :drool, totally jealous of the rear lights & fully working headlights. Top job.
Oh, heck , I think I'll watch it again..... :notworthy

With the price of android tablets going down to around $75-$100 bucks (must have bluetooth and access to the app store), ebay the cheap OBD2 Bluetooth reader and download the app. You can have full gauges in less then 10 minutes for less the $125 dollars!

I met a man with a dollar, we exchanged dollars and we still had a dollar. I met a man with an idea, we exchanged ideas and now we both have two ideas!!!

Thanks for all the words of encouragement! I know this isn't OE by any means but it was the quickest and cheapest thing I could do and since I have been driving my car around I need some thing to manage everything before I messed something up.

With the price of android tablets going down to around $75-$100 bucks (must have bluetooth and access to the app store), ebay the cheap OBD2 Bluetooth reader and download the app. You can have full gauges in less then 10 minutes for less the $125 dollars! It was kind of pointless to consider something else right now.

I would actually prefer a modern cluster in a murcielago rather than replicating it. I think that will look nice once it's made to look like it should be there. I can picture it, I like the removable feature.
