Maybe its just the pic, but I actually like the hood on this car. Normally I don't like that hood on Birds or Camaros except 91-92 Birds. But in that pic, the scoops look flatter. Maybe I'm just seeing things, but I love it.

Thanks for the great feedback. The hood is from Ramairhoods.com and it fits great, of course things needed adjusted to make it fit right.(fenders, nose and headlights). The color is Daytona blue. Its one of the colors on the new 350Z's. The prep and paint work was done by my freind and myself. Both of us are not body men but we had some previous experence in body work. Oh yeah the car was wrecked at the dragstrip last year when the guy in the other lane "lost it"about half track. The only body panels that were undamaged was the right door and quarter panel. The only sheetmetal that was replaced was both fenders and nose. The old hood did not need replaced but I wanted the ram air 2. I really cant believe how straight the body came out for a truck driver and a carpet layer doing the work.





EDIT: if anyone has some body moldings for sale let me know Thats all I need to finish it

I've always wondered how good a blue TA with black GTA wheels would look. Now I know!
Nice work

I like it ! Alot
Love the color!
great gob.

looks alittle like mine.
I'd like to see some shots of the rear, I'm going to have to replace my spoiler and I guess it's going to have to be painted body color. Still not crazy about the idea.

*edit found the link for the rest of the pics. Sorry

<-- still cringes at the site of your car at the track. I still remember like it was yesterday watching the Supra hitting your car.

I'm glad to see ya got it back to where it once was and then some.

BTW post this up on NE3G for the people over there that was there to show them your car is even better than what it was before.

Awesome job man.
