Your right,its not about the hood,but that hood is so outrageous it can't be helped..That thing can't possibly be legal.. I agree with everyone else,raptor hood,ws6 or get the mecham one..Not many have that hood..

where at?

and as far as the hood goes. I have found that alot of the people on this thread are not exactly nice or tactful about other peoples cars. If you don't like the hood say it. You don't need to say its ugly, outrageous or any other term like that. Come on guys. I didn't post these pics of my rim to have everyone rip on me about my hood. I like it, and if I had the money would I have a different hood? Probably, but times are tough and it makes my car unique and I like it. Think before you say bad things about something someone has put alot of blood, sweat, and time into.
Done ranting.

Those black ZR1's really are a very nice addition to your pewter T/A. Very good choice!

Depends who you ask. According to Wilwood and other big brake companies, they aren't.

Some people don't like hammering at their wheel wells. Also to put tires on those are not cost effective with people with tight budgets. I could find a set of tires to fit 9.5's cheap but not 11's.
