Ive got it on my car here. I need to adjust it to fit better but you get the main idea. Plus I have never had a fiberglass hood that has fit perfectly so keep that in mind.

That is not a predator hood. That looks like the cheap knock-off they sell on Ebay. I have the predator hood but it isn't painted yet. Look for pics up in a couple weeks.

Looks more like a warbird hood.
I'm not sure it is a US Exotics one though.

Mine is the Outlaw Warbird, but it fits lots better.

IMO the predator hood doesn't go with the lines of the car
as well as the warbird series of hoods.

My hood is functional, but I don't have the air box for it.
I'm currently running a LPE CAI, but I want to try the LS1 Lid
conversion.
