Please tell me there's a legitimate reason you bought that hood... Like how you're going to cut the windshield cowl and run a high-rise intake manifold...

Goes with the look. Needs some fitment work and paint.

Not bad, little big for my tastes.

Your car desperately needs some center caps to hide rusty grossness.

It upsets you that much? Wow. Wish I had the money to just **** out a BBC or Warhawk block for you.

First thing I typed in the original post was that it needs paint and more fitment addressed.

I think it looks sick. I wouldn't run it on my car because I wouldn't be able to back it up lol. But your car has the mods and wheel/tire combo to make it work.

^ sorta this. If my car was running 10s or faster and had a sheet metal intake and a cut cowl, I'd probably run that hood. lol. Your car has the wheel/tire combo to make it look right though.

and, I'd personally **** out twin turbos and an LSx block if I were given a choice. A forged 347 and a centrifugal will have to work for me.

I got it. My *** is about to be deployed so there are some big plans for the car. That I will say.

Not being a smart *** but, the hood I got is a bolt on version so I can still run the cowl and wipers. Whats the fun of having a car you can't drive in the rain?

Not bad. Good luck with the future plans... Just do us all one big favor...

Get rid of that front plate =/ It looks horrid and just screams ricer on a vehicle.

(Not to offend your heritage at all, it just gives the car a "worse" image.)

My buddy bet me that I would not put that on my car and drive it for a week and he lost that bet. It's off now, got tired of the unwanted attention. lol

Corners are up because I needed to move the hood back towards the windshield for it to be positioned properly on the hinges. The instructions that came with it said that its thicker for sanding and paint. Other than that it fits suprisingly well. I'm very pleased with the quality of hood.
