Default New SS Hood/Wing Installed (large pics)

Car still needs to be cleaned up a bit. Also I removed my side molding before I gave them the car. Needs the hood insert put in and a new front grille, I just got it back. What do you think? Can't beat a free paint job (thread)

Wheels were on the car when I bought them. He got them from ebay as a package: 18" chrome rims with kuhmo 275/35/18's all the way around.

I got the hood from here:http://www.auto-parts-body-parts.com...--C130108.html
The wing is from www.spoilerdepot.com
Hood looks exactly like the OEM top and bottom except made of fiberglass instead of Metal, Great quality "Made in Taiwan". It was strange they shipped it by air from Carson, Califonia to Atlanta, Ga, then trucked it to me in Albany. Took only 4 days to get it once I placed my order, the shipping was only $118.00 and the hood was an even $1000.00. The wing could of been a bit better, but it came with a LED 3rd Tail Light.

I bought it not painted, I am sure there would be some matching issues if you did get it painted through them.

That looks great! Congrats on the new hood. I also put an SS hood on my red Z28, I had the scoop painted black though.

I had a spoiler painted from Spoilerdepot and it was a perfect match and fit. The only complaint I had was the hardware I received. Nothing they included would bolt the spoiler to the car, I had to goto Home Depot to buy hardware that would work. I eventually sold the spoiler cause I got a great deal on an OEM hood/spoiler.

Did you happen to receive any rubber pads for the vertical posts ? Just curious.

Had the same problem you had with the hardware. Came with some little circle foam pads, and a long foam pad strip with a bunch of hardware that didn't make any sense. Had to go to home depot also to get the hardware for the spoiler.

What did you have buy to bolt it up?

I just ordered one while my car is at the body shop and don't need any hassles when they go to install it.

Thanks.
