It will be one color later this weekend probably.
Hood inserts are $50 each, so $100 total.
I got the used and it didn't have inserts in it. I may just cut off the tabs so that it will look sorta normal.

Zepher last time I was at autozone they had some mesh stuff for use on import frontends but they had normal black and aluminium color. I don't remember how much but you may want to look at it.

that hood fits much better than mine. Also - mine didn't come with inserts at all! It came with a wire metal mesh installed into the hood...like into the fiberglass or something.
Wish I had inserts

I need to get with the Police anc see what's up with the case since I really want to get the doors replaced along with the tail light.
I was thinking about the screen mesh that a lot of import people use, which I may attempt to use.
I got that Ram Air one hood a few months ago from LT1 _Guy, I did a straight swap with my RAII hood with him.
I am getting another RAII hood from my friend with the Black LT1 powered 82 T/A since he doesn't want it anymore. I'll be trading my bulge hood for it.
We only did a quick alignment of the hood to get it to sit the way it does. I drove to Hawks Thirdgen in South Carolina, met Bruce, Redraif, and LT1_Guy, took my RAII hood off, put the RAI hood on and that's how it's been since.
