That's a good suggestion!  My Grandmother's name is Juanita.  She's not Hispanic, but when you hear her sisters' names (Ada, Ida, Addie, Verla) you realize she got off easy!

BTW, Zen, the first flaw I noticed was that the hood seal leaks around the bottom when you drive it in the rain.  I added a little weatherstripping and it's fine.  I think it has as much to do with panel fit as anything.  Also, now the seal traps water above it on the hood panel itself at the bottom.  It's hollow, so water collects inside the seal itself and runs out in a little stream when you open it after rain.

Don't get me wrong, overall the build quality, fit and finish look very high.  I'll be sure to bring it to the next event!
