Thumbs up New hood pics - C6 Corvette

Here are the latest photos of my C6 Corvette, showing the new hood. This is an RK Sport hood, which was necessary to clear the MagnaCharger supercharger setup (to be installed soon). I purchased the hood from TByrne motorsports, it took about 10 days to show up on my doorstep.

Richey Collision in Houston did the excellent paint work, they specialize in Corvette painting and repair work.

Sex on wheels. Very aggressive yet mature. Really love the red leather on that car.
Are you gonna hang onto the stock hood for when you sell the 'Vette years from now, or will you sell the car with the mods/hood?

A friend of mine got a hood just like that to clear his Maggie for his Black 05 Vette a couple weeks ago too. He's almost done installing his.

hood looks sexy Tony! Were there any fitment issues? I know on the C5 all the RKSport hoods seem to have problems lining up right.

fitment was pretty good, they didn't have to modify the hood at all. Chris at Richey just adjusted the front hinge locations and mounting bolts a little and it fit perfect.

Are you gonna hang onto the stock hood for when you sell the 'Vette years from now, or will you sell the car with the mods/hood?
I'll keep the stock hood in storage, but will probably sell the car modified when I'm ready to do so. Its just a PITA to put things back to stock.

Looks awesome Tony! I am glad to hear you're doing stuff to the C6, I had not seen you mention it in a while so I was worried you were getting bored with it.

I'm waiting on the pcm to come back from Magnuson and she'll be ready.
Here's some pics.

Blower looks great Ed! Lets see some pics of the whole car.

now get the zo6 front bumper and you will be set...
That front end will only fit with the wider front Z06 fenders, which are $1200 each. Caravaggio makes some less expensive front fenders, but they are still pricey. I plan on doing wider rear quarter panels and deep dished wheels later, then maybe the Z06 front end stuff afterwards.

It's under the carport with the right side tire off waiting, still waiting for
the PCM to get back and it is covered in pollen.
