It wasn't to bad, I've seen alot worse. When I installed it to check it out before I painted it the corners around the nostrals had to be worked a little.
I had to adjust the headlight covers, and my friend thats a bodyman adjusted the passenger fender. I've seen an older hood from Suncoast that didn't nearly as good as this one did so I am happy about that.Like I said I've seen worse but I did expect a little better quality.

The delivery of the hood was really really fast though. I ordered the hood from www.TByrne.com and I also ordered a front plate liscense cover from GMPartsdirect.com and the hood beat the front plate cover by a few days at least.

Peace,
Craig.

Really nice "beater". Your "beater" is nicer than my "show car".

Thanks! I use a Sony DSC-F717 5.24mp camera. Its already outdated, but it has all of the adjustable options that the bad boy cameras have.

BTW- I love my QTEC that I bought from Barry on my T/A, works great!


Peace,
Craig.

What springs are on that car? Just curious how you got the stance you have.

I've got the same hood, and it seems like alot of the wheels that work with WS6s dont really go well with the lines of this hood. Your pics have inspired me though. When the time comes for some new wheels, I'll be going with the same combo that you've got there. Just way too nice looking not to. They work really well with the whole car (although I think that beautiful color has something to do with it also).
