Dude that cover looks really clean. and it looks like its on your car so I'm guessing you still have it. You should share that fb link here, I'm sure others will 'like' it too

I definitely still have the SS. I think it is against forum rules to post a link to a non sponsor site. (?) If I read/understood the rules correctly, I can PM the link just not post in a thread.
Thanks for the compliments It's been a lot of work, late nights and frustration getting it to where it is. I should be able to find a few cars by this weekend to test fit it in. It fits mine PERFECTLY but I want to be sure that anyone who gets one will have the same result. I'm anxious to get this thing painted again. It looks SO much better when it's color matched.

Oh ok I got ya, and yes I think you are right. I've seen mods get onto people for that. What is the piece made out of? It looks clean how it is now but color matched will be even better

It's made of fiberglass (strong but flexible). I just put in a few relief holes for the bolts that hold the hood latch. This not only allows for more clearance it keeps from having to change hardware to different bolts. In this pic it's finished down to 800 grit. I'm waiting to get the finish perfect until I know it's right.



This is what it looked like for G10. Notice the large cut out space in the middle. This is what I've been working on to enclose and make it cleaner. Anyway, this is for an idea of what it looks like color matched...

I'm in the process of producing these. I have a couple of test fit cars meeting me tonight. I'll post up the results when I get back.
