Default Keystone SS Hood

Just picked up a brand new Keystone SS hood for $150 locally. It actually fits pretty good. The gap in the front between the headlights is kinda big but Im gonna try to adjust it. Im not sure how much these go for from a store but Im pretty sure I got a great deal. I need to buy the ram air grilled and get it painted now.

got that same deal on my hood from keystone, but i have a wholesale account there. make sure your painter preps the piece well. there will be waves in it. they are what they are. cheap. itll look good though. im ok with mine. nice buy.

Thanks for the price man. I got it to fit better. It nots lined up level with the sides of the fenders yet, still need to work on that. I got the gap between the headlights closed now.

the gap in the pictures doesn't look bad at all. i would have guessed it would be more the aftermarket headlights than anything. cool find!

It actually the gap between the front bumper and hood. I adjusted it, now its like a 1/4" instead of a half inch.

I have found similar problems in these lightweight ss hoods where you end up seeing the mounting points and the manta part began to sink in, looked like crap after.

Crap :-( well, I've actually got a cheap ss hood on now, and it'll cost me as much to get the keystone one for less than it'll cost me to get mine painted...
