Did you get em from fourthcircle?
Was considering blackbird stripes for my ws6 hood. Not sure if car name would be too long, so lookin forward to the snake eater pic
apocolypse too would be on mine.
My V6 was named apocolypse cause the gmmg exhaust made it sound like the end of the world.

Looks great. My Raptor hood required washers in the same spot, but other than that and how it rests on the nose of the front bumper & chews through the paint/bumper there, it fits EXTREMELY well. I also noticed that it was rubbing on the front corners of my aftermarket air lid combined with the WS6 lower air box (sits higher than stock lower air boxes), but that isn't an external fitment issue.
My car was a V6, and I did a California smog-legal LS1 swap. AFAIK I'm the only one who's on the forum that cared about CA smog certification enough to get the BAR sticker... lol
Here's a pic a taken a couple days after I installed the hood. Was still working on the headlight cover alignment on the drivers side at that time:

doesn't suncoast have a fitment guarantee on their hoods?... does anyone know how that works?... i ordered mine last tuesday and they said it should take 4-5 business days to make the hood then it would be shipped so i'm expecting it sometime this week

i just got my hood and got it on the car... it will need quite a bit of adjustment and i noticed that at both rear corners the underside rubs the top of the hinge where it pivots... some spacers will probably solve that but the bolts are pretty short... does anyone know what thread pitch the bolts are that bolt the hood hinges to the hood??
