Hmmm...verdict is still out on this one for me. It's so subtle it's got me asking why even spend the money. I'm thinking they need to make a taller one with something that accentuates the hood lines a little more. Can't hardly see the lines. I'd have to see this on a different color car I guess. Maybe it's just the pictures 
. Anyone in OK have this hood? I'd really love to see it in person 'cause this is the one I was thinking about. Now I'm leaning more towards the boxy style for mine.

All I can think of is the lighting, and the fact that the front bumper cover IS a bad paint job, and dirty. I have to have the bumper repainted soon, as the paint is peeling. Dam dealership! Anyway, Thanks for all the compliments, I truly love this hood! It does take alittle getting used to from the inside, but I had a 6" cowl on my old '68 camaro, so this isn't all that bad. The Mecham spoiler is basically like a SS, but the lip is slightly more, and as stated, it does not have the post in the middle. I like the look 'cause it's almost stock, but different. I am saving money for it now.

Sorry if this double posts, but it wasn't showing, and I wanted to thank everyone for their comments. For those who wanted better pics, with less reflection, I will try and take some this weekend and post them.
And Keenov, yes, that's summits part #

Well, since this thread got brought back up it had me thinking of ordering this hood again. I called up Harwood and found out the damn thing weighs in at around 38 lbs. 
Needless to say, I'm going another route.

There's a guy on another site I go to that has a silver/pewter Z that just got this hood too. He's supposed to post pics 2morrow. PM me and I'll send ya the link. It'll be 2morrow nite though, as I am going to sleep.
Later,
Kev
BTW Here's the rear spoiler I hope to get as soon as we get our home fixed from the tree damage.

Don't buy anything from Mecham, their quality sucks. If you want to see, look in this appearance section, I have a post showing their hood with all its cracks. Nothing but inferior stuff.

Well, after having the hood on for over a year now, I can say that it is a great quality peice. I just wish the body shops around here were better, as I now have chips in the paint on the hood. Still haven't done anything with the rear spoiler. I guess eventually I'll try and find a OEM SS one.
