Default New Hood

Scored a 90's era Suncoast Creation WS6 style hood for 150$ and had the center bar removed to resemble a Ultra Z hood as close as possible since you can find a Unicorn quicker than you can find that hood. Installed and adjusted by myself but still needs a bit more. Better pics when finished!

One more removal and it should be done. A PITA, but definitely worth it.

Looks awesome man! I have that hood sitting in my garage cause I had the same intentions like 3 years ago after searching for an Ultra Z hood. Then I found the Suncoast, picked it up and sure enough right after that I found an Ultra Z with the air box included locally for $650.

I offered multiple people 1000$ for theirs but never any takers so this was my solution!
