New Hood on the GTO
We finally got our "free" 05 installed on the wifes 04 GTO (& washed it to take a pic). Makes the car look a LOT better. But there is just something about my red car you'll see in the pics that will always be a cut above to me.

I know you're takin' your car, but is your wife takin' the GTO to Bremerton too? I'd like to check it out, if I could. Maybe we could exchange GTOs for a little cruisin'? I'd understand if you didn't want to, but it might be kinda fun. No thrashin' on each others' cars of course. Is it an auto?
Well, enough jabber.
Happy Motoring,
Maximental

Naw, the wife works that night Max, so I will be flyin solo @ B-town. I take it that means you are planning to drive up?
Now what I need to do is make an air duct to connect to the scoops. I figure if they are functional, why not. Besides, I need to put something under them to catch all the damn Seattle liquid sunshine. And we have those recessed grille inserts on order. Not sure when they will get here, but you just gotta have them to match the hood's inserts IMO. Burbman says they are simple to install. Only paid $225 for em too.
Love your car BTW....beautiful color that barbados!!!

Here's a pic of two gto's with aftermarket hoods. The silver one has the 05 hood where as the blue one has a one of hand made hood.
Not a huge different, but the scoops are different in size and shape and location is slightly different with the blue one having the scoops sit further back on the hood.
