Sorry Guys, Had to work on my wife's car this weekend and swap all front bushings so no time to do any final a adjustments on the hood. I hope to have time adjusting the hood on Wednesday since I'll be stuck finishing up current project tomorrow.

New hood looks good, Pete.

When available in fiberglass (as I want to paint to match!) please advise cost with shipping to 28269.

Thanks...........

Anyhow, best of luck with the hood when you get it into production.

Would love to see a photo from the front of the car. Get an idea of how high the side louvers show.

Nice hood. Now, on with the photos

One just shipped today so hopefully we'll have pix soon. The louvers actually dont sit that high, initially I thought they looked like they sat higher.

Can we get better photos? Also how do your parts fit? I am also interested in your tigershark front end, but worried about fit/finish

Those are the only pix I have unfortunately from a customer of mine. As far as the TS bumper, they do require prep work. Sent you a PM.

If you're designing the hood to include supercharged cars, don't forget that the motor moves under full throttle. My Maggie hits the underside of my MCM hood, which was supposedly designed for a supercharger. I also had to grind off a small portion of the throttle body because it hit the hood. Unfortunately, I realized both after I had the hood painted. Just food for thought.

Not to be a PITA, but an I see at least 5-10 pictures of this hood from several angles? Have you sold anymore? Its hard to buy a hood with only a few pictures that hardly show the hood.....
