Got my SS hood on.

Well, after a couple weeks of work I finally got it on. The hood was free to me, and a genuine GM hood, I'm lucky.

Here it was 2 weeks ago:

Looks great.

Makes we want one more and more. Did you do the work yourself on it or take it to a shop?

I sanded where it had been originally repaired, and I long blocked the primer, but otherwise my buddy Dana did it. They were pretty dead at work at the GM dealer he works at and he just did most of it there when he had time since he gets payed by the job anyway.

Looks good but you should have had a manta stripe painted while you were at it.

It came in, just waiting for the painter to paint it black then put it on. It should look good with the black bowtie with red outline.

Paint the roof and mirrors red too then add a white or black manta running scoop to tail. It would REALLY set your car off and make it very unique. Not to mention look just like a ZL1.
