Default New hood

Friend of mine bought a white car with this hood on it. Turns out, it was a hood I had been looking at getting for a while, and he needed a little bit taller hood to fit his set up. I didn't like how bulbous my hood looked, so it worked out perfect!

Old hood



New hood (stripes included!)





I really like how this hood flows better with the car, and works with the bumper instead of looking like an after thought.

The fitment is leaps and bounds better than the unknown brand ws6 style hood I had, it almost just bolted right up where as the other hood I had to dremel out the brackets a bit. I do have a little adjustment on the headlamps and bump stops needed, but it's great other than that.

Looks good! I think it would look killer (IMO) with the bird logo on the front license plate cover painted that same dark blue

Hood stripe is gloss black, little bit of the sky reflecting on it.

the front bird is reflective black. It's black until you hit it at the right angle.. A little ricerish, but I like it.
