Your going to need that SS hood as a backup the second that mecham starts cracking, and crap. I've not witnessed it personally as I don't own one, but a local guy just got his painted, and 2 months later has slight cracking from the hood in the paint. I wouldn't go with the mecham just because of the quality. Your car looks great how it is now, I wouldn't have changed it.
