Well, props on being different bro, persenally i love the SS hood, but hey, to each thier own right! U will probably be the only one at meets with that hood and people would probably walk over and look at ur car before they would look at mine.

i love the ss hood myself but after 4 years of pretty much the same look i was desperate for change. the car was originally pewter then i added tints and a black manta. Then in 04 i had an accident and sprayed the car Kandy Kobalt Blue with Platinum Pearl Manta, which is pretty much the same thing but a different color.

he says it will be in the booth on thursday or friday & this time im going all out.
Mecham hood
Green paint and charcoal stripes
black dragonz28 emblems
35th wheels

Since you are desperate for change, what about the Z29 spoiler next?

it was really dark in the shop and it looked fine to me and the guy that did the prep work said it was fine. I was expecting the worst so to me it seemed like grade-a quality to me, but again that was opposed to all the negativity fed to me.
