it's amazing how much lighter they are too. perfect fitment as well. looks a lot smoother than factory hoods IMO

I didm't know about the weight thing I know it's fibre glass. The previus owner fitted it as I have only had the car 2 months.

It was black and then he got it sprayed gold. I love it, it looks so much meaner than the TA hood. A buddy of mine has just got a 99 Firehawk he said there are only 5 in the UK so it a rare find and he got it for a good price. I think my hood looks meaner than his IMO

I have a pic of when it was black from an old website banner

How it looks now

Thanks yes I saw a post on here of a guy who had a gold one he said they only made 250

I didn't even realise until reading his post that gold was only available in 98

thank you! though black is hardest to take care of. i think it looks the best when it is taken care of and cleaned up!

My 99 Z28 was black looked great when it was polished. Trouble was I had to polish it everytime I washed it to get the water marks off! A lot of work I will agree on that.
