thanks, but paint isn't going to be coming for a little while tho.. still need new doors and a Trans Am Aerowing Spoiler, but after that its getting a metallic blue that dodge is using(2004 color) for the body and silver on the ground-fx. should look real nice when its done
i'm having a little trouble trying to get the hood to sit down just right. the driver side is sitting up to high along the whole side and the passenger side is sitting up to high but just near the front, but the middle of the hood sitting at the right hight.. i've turned those 2 rubber stops all the way down and pulled out the 4 rubber triangle things along the fenders but still don't sit right.. so what did i miss?

did u adjust any of the rubber adjuster ***** in the front? if not mess with them a bit. also check make sure the little rubber piece that sit on where the fender bolts to arnt hold that back. if so u may need to trim where they hit or adjust ur fender/hood gap. my brother has 2 of those hoods and the both fitted really good . one need slight trimming and then other didnt, but the hood is great quality, best one out there.

Hi RAGE13.Hood looks good, but It'll be tight when its painted . I was just wondering if that is the stock nosepiece on your car?If not, where did you get it?it just looks like to me that its a little sharper angle or protruding a little bit more?Maybe I just need to get my eyes checked LOL.

I would lower the hood closure point, as it looks a little high on both sides. Hope this helps!

I had to remove the rubber peices from the fenders to get mine to sit completely flush with the fenders due to the design difference from the factory hood. Mine basicaly bolted right on with very minor adjustmentsbeing needed. I think it took about 1 hour to get it perfect.
It will be awesome once you paint it!

I thought maybe you were gona go a red and changed your mind to blue...
Thats why I did my CE 8point in a metalic grey. to match the 4thGen dash and Int. Because I cant make up my mind on black again or HOk cobolt blue

its a 3", after driving it around yesterday i wouldn't want anything higher. but thats just me.. the price was $400 for the hood and $100 shiping to south florida (shiping should be less for you sence Cervinis is in NJ, if you go with them)
i've always loved the black on gold camaros, but hate having a black car.. shows every little spot and bump (witch there are alot of ) and no a/c makes it cook better then an EZ-Bake oven. but i still wouldn't trade it in for anything

What do you have in there?
(I am assuming you didn't need that cage for a 305/700r4 combo under your name. )
