So ive had this hood sitting in my garage for quite some time now. I had planned to finish the cosmetics last year but my tranny went out so I had to spent that money to get a new one. Anyway, ill be taking a road trip up to Carmel via the the 1Hwy next weekend so I decided to change things up a bit. I installed the hood, took off the old cracked decal stripes (biggest pain in the ass of ALL TIME). All thats left to do before next weekend is wrap the roof gloss black and paint the spoiler black.
Anyway I thought you would all want to see this hood as it is fairly rare here on MM. I couldnt really find much info on this particular hood before I purchased it so maybe this thread can help some of you if you are thinking of picking one up. I bought it from Stage3 for around $600 if I remember correctly. It is made by Trufiber and is offered in fiberglass and carbon fiber. It bolts right onto the stock hinges and IS NOT a perfect fit. I sits low near the front head lights. I know pretty much nothing when it comes to body work but the hood comes with a nice smooth glossy finish and id assume it wont take much prep before you paint it. Ill update again this evening after I get the car back from the paint shop. Any questions feel free to ask. Oh and before anyone mentions it I bought and installed a new carbon fiber wiper cowl. I can finally trash the old one!
