LOOKS GREAT!!!! I love that hood, i wanted it but since mine was a factroy SS(which I'm sure yours is also) I wanted to keep the SS look and went with the 3" SS hood from VFN. Great Job!!!

Looks great man!

Lately, I've been reading a lot about how much of a pain in the *** it is to align Aftermarket hoods. How much time did you spend?

well me and my bud did this. took forever. a few hours. we're not good at this kind of stuff. now that we know what to do, not long. should only take bout an hour or less. it still isnt PERFECT. but we did our best. i had to remove the hood stops so it would sit flush with the fenders/bumper...

thanks for compliment.

Very nice! Any chance you can take closeup pics of its alignment (front, side, etc.)? I installed mine and it sticks up a little at the front. How long after install did you paint it?

i got it painted first. then i installed. just have to be easy with it. i'm repainting my car later anyway. i took the hood stops off. that solved my hood from sticking up. may be different for you. mine is a little off on the driver side corner head light. but can only tell if your just examining it, or just looking for little details. i just fooled with it today, and i'm not touching it again.

Not smart. You should put in on your car so it adjusts first. Now it might crack the paint.
