Raptor hood Picked up a used painted Raptor hood for less than half of what it would have cost me to buy and install a new one. I'm very happy with how everything turned out even if the paint is slightly off in some lighting (not too noticeable in person). I tweaked the fitment a little more after these pictures, so as of right now it looks even better than in the pics:

I found it about 8 hours before the post, emailed the guy 5 hours before, and called and talked to the guy about 3 hours before to arrange a time for me to purchase. 
Thanks though. It made things interesting!
lol. after you include the PCM, wiring harness, gauge cluster, MAF, lid, M6 upper console, M6 pedal assembly, k-member, engine mounts, and trans mount, its more like 12 things. And thats not including upcoming appearance mods or the belt routing sticker.

so i saw. paying 150 more than the ad said it all. still a hell of a deal though. and what MAF are you looking for? i know a guy who works down the street for me was selling his MAF off of his 02 SS. i think he still has it for sale

As for the aforementioned parts - it's a joke. Everybody says I need an LS1 and a T56, but I need all those other parts to make it work. Plan is to find a parts car that is missing the rear half of the car for cheap, then use the underhood drivetrain, electrical, and mounting braces. Just reminding Gil that you need more than a longblock and a transmission.
Honestly though I don't want to think about a swap any more from all the bitches nagging me about it and how paying $250 per illegal smog check is ok, and would much rather just save up for a C5 or a C6. Keep the [400 miles per tank on 87 octane] V6 as a DD, and have more fun with the Vette on the weekends. I'll do an engine swap if the right deal comes up, but until then it's time to start saving for a Vette - since my goal of a comfortable, great handling, good looking, good MPG, decently quick daily driver is pretty much done.

thats a good idea. i keep telling myself im going to stop modding and save but something always keeps coming up. im getting a hell of a deal on a OEM WS6 hood in 2 weeks, so thats pushed aside all the other mods i told myself i wouldnt do
