So is today the last day? Hoping since I called today and left a voicemail they will still let me get in on it tomorrow. Had so much else going on I was procrastinating on this. Lol

Apparently, we have one case of a hood broken by FedEx when shipping to a location approximately 3 hours away from Extreme Composites. If you've received a hood, please chime in and let us know how your hood came in. For those of you who may be receiving a hood in the near future, be sure to carefully inspect it before signing anything.

If you just build around it, it would still be above the flat surface of the hood. Have to set it in deeper and then build around it. Gonna take it to a friends place today to see his thoughts since he is going to paint it anyway.

Here is what the hood looked like upon arrival...
had to clean this up a lot to even get the vent to be able to sit there properly
this was the piece that was damaged in shipping...they ended up fixing the whole front end of the hood, cause on one side it was this as could be, and shutting the hood once would have caused it to break
my shop was able to clean it up, but they wouldn't do it again, it had a lot of those little pin holes that you can see in fiberglass, that they needed to clean up as well, but they did.....here are the pics of it finished...its still has some swirls in the paint because you have to let the paint cure for 90 days, and these pics were before that point, after the 90 days, i brought the car back, and they cleaned it up
As it goes, I love the hood, and am glad that I did get it, to me it just adds a major tone of aggressiveness to the car and I get a lot of compliments about the hood as well

My hood has been in prep for a while now at my shop. Xclusv Autosports in staten island new york is where I take all of my cars of any type of custom work. Anyone in the area should check them out. Meticulous work, great pricing, and top notch customer service. Whether you have an exotic, daily driver, antique, show car...really anything -- they can do it.
The fitment was a little off and the vents needed to be molded in to look good. After countless hours of prep work to both the top side and underside of the hood it is ready for paint. I wanted the underside to look just as good at the topside. Here are some teaser pics.

denali mine should be getting painted this week as well, it also was finished being prepped this friday. Had a few setbacks and decided to set the vents in on pins as well as epoxy followed by dolphin glaze to look proper. Just hoping the hood actually fits my car as I never tried bolting it on when it came in as a raw piece before I started all the prep work. But looking at everyone elses pics the fitment looks fine so I am not too stressed.
PS just noticed that 11 x5m in your thread, hows that treating you I took one out for a ride a few months ago and must say I enjoyed it
