Ecklers Hi-Rise hood
Received my Ecklers Hi-Rise hood this past week. Not impressed with the packaging, but it arrived ok, at least I got a “No Forklift” sticker. The fit is good and it’s headed to get painted.
Two tears in the box
No foam or wrapping

That looks pretty darn good, John. Looking forward to seeing it with some color splashed on.

Looks and fits good!
I bet you were sweating when you first saw that box though.

it does look good, do they offer it in carbon or just fiberglass?

I agree, the fit looks very good. Should look nice when finished. Are you going with a solid matching Mil Yellow or adding some black?

even a carbon wrap on the center section behind the vent would look good imo

They offer a carbon but it is wider and taller to go over a supercharger...it looked to big and didn't have the lines that the fiberglass one does. Thinking of doing a center wrap from the vent back in transparent carbon fiber over the Mil Yellow or the black carbon fiber..

Impressed with the hood's fitment. It will look great once painted and fully installed.
