Default "Wide" Sunoco Bolt on

Well bought the hood through a group purchase a little bit ago with VFN. Its still in the black gel coat. I figured some of you guys might want to see on the car. It is not the Race Pin-On Extended to windshield version.... Kinda curious what everyone thinks about it..

Looks good, i think it all depends on your taste, like mine for example, just like the plain, regular, Sunoco hood, but it looks good on your car man!

It looks like it needs major adjustments

But, other than that, I like it better than the regular Sunoco hood..

alittle to much for the street but that's the look you were probably going for. i went with the regular one and driving it on the street i have to make double sure on taking right turns to not hit the curb.... pretty much decreased my line of site! lol owell it gets alot of attention on the streets

I don't even notice when cars have the tiny lil regular sunoco hoods. Mine, even extended to the windshield, doesn't make it hard to see at all.

There is a slight raised spot on the very tip of the hood that matches with the nose.. you almost have to feel it to see it... and im prolly gunna do the sides of it black and the rest red...


lowering is def. on the list of to-do's but iv'e been a little scared to since i live about 5 miles out of town down all country roads....

I do plan on getting the RKsport 5 inch spoiler for it also...

reject got it right... i figured .... go big or dont go at all
