Default The hood is painted!

i got the car back on thursday but it's been rainy... photoshoot will come on the first clear day.



for those who were wondering about the fitment... it started out questionable but the body shop got it PERFECT. it could be about 1/16-1/8" wider at the top, but it's nothing major. the guy i talked to said it was one of the highest quality aftermarket hoods they've worked with.

Is that Lingenfilters Hood? I bought one and am waiting to have it painted. Atleast I can stare at yours until mine is painted.

Nope, that is the KB (RK) hood... and I am liking it more and more... I was not a fan of it in the beginning...

Looks good, do you have any more pics, different angles... I am really on the fence about this thing...
