Default Anyone running the trufiber SS hood?
Supposedly some of the underside of the hood has to be cut to clear the alternator brace. Has anyone encountered this problem and have any pics of the modifications made? Also how did the hood fit?

Looks like an easy fix. Kind of confused why they made it like the LS1 hood since we don't have lids.

I believe the hood I had was the Trufiber SS. I HATED it. Sold it and went back to a stock Z hood.

I bought mine around this time last year and it fit perfectly. No pictures yet because the painter still isn't finished....but he said it was one of the better fitting aftermarket hoods he's used.
