The down side is that Mecham has some really sketchy quality issues with there stuff.

Looks okay to me. I think without the bird and engine callout it would look a lot better IMO.

Not too bad, but if Mecham has had alot of quality issues with their hoods. I like their rear spoiler alot better than the hood though.

Goody! Goody! Another chance to show potential customers the real bag of **** Mecham hands you when you order anything from him.
I present to you my TA with his **** hood that looked this way within the first year of purchase..

That looks sick! If I had a T/A I would definitely get that hood. I say, hands down, go for it and post pics as soon as you get it.

Damn...how many hours did it take to get that hood that straight?!?! Looks awesome!
I have seen 2 of them in person and both are crappy quaility and fit. The hood and tail were both cracked.
I was looking at a Mecham hood for my Z28 and my body shop guy (who fit one of those) basically told me that I could get that hood if I wanted to, but he wasn't going to fit it to the car.
Don't get me wrong, I really like the look of the Mecham, but be prepared for substandard quality.
