I have wanted this hood ever since it has come into production and I now finally have one! This is a very good day!


So what's the bad part of the story? I'm in school 150 miles away and these pictures were e-mailed to me I plan on coming home during my spring break mid march to install and paint it as well as my SS spoiler

Well that's not as bad as the manufacturer's recommendations to wait a month for the primer to cure before painting

I would but the car just sits in storage anyways. I would rather have it sitting in my garage at home under a cover compared to having it sit in a parking garage with a bunch of other college students.

It's actually a funny story with the delivery though. We ordered our own delivery thru triple A and it was only $66 to ship it to us. But the truck driver only stopped at a gas station a mile away from the house and left. So the next day we had to go meet up with the truck driver, as you can see in the pics
