I still think you should come to the Houston meet this weekend! I would love to see that hood in person!

Plus it would be nice to have another black SS to run around with!

A mesh insert in the hood would give it a little more flash IMO. But I love the hood. I want the inferno hood for my GXP, but I just put an exhaust on and can't afford it right now. But in the near future after all my performance mods are done!

Nice car. I wanted to see what the car would look like with black SS badges. Now I know, and its added to the long list of things to do. Although I think I will keep the Impala on the left side of the trunk
