Doesn't seem to be aligned too well. Other than that it looks pretty tough. I miss my white f-body. LOW maintenance paint!

Well actually its aligned pretty good for being an aftermarket hood. Its the front bumper that sags actually since I took off the support thats why it looks like it doesnt line up!!

i have the same hood without the center line and mine is off a bit also, it's fiberglass not much you can do.

by they way what grill do you have?? does it have a black plate behind the billet? Been looking for the one that has the black beheind the billet bars. I want to either put a blue bowtie dead center or the 69 badge in the lower driver side of the grille.

Looks great!

Looks good like you said it is aftermarket and fittment has always been a downfall when using fiberglass hoods, but yours does look good! I love white I had a 98 white Z28 it was great for keeping clean. Car looks great. Congrats.

Looks pretty good man. I'm not a big fan of all the stickers but since it runs 10.37 @ 130.2, I'm pretty sure some of those stickers will fly off by themselves

By the way, I had zero problems with fitment with my sunoco. Has your car ever been in a fender bender?
