new hood is on

I like it. Ground effects are going to be removed, normal spoiler installed and it's going to look more like an SC again. It's not going to look quite like it used to 12 years ago when I bought it (it came with no spoiler), but close.

I forgot to mention it's a champion fiberglass hood (about 430 shipped). I may end up adding some hood pins. It will be red (original color) or black. The bodywork will happen this winter in my garage (now insulated and heated )

Nice people to deal with. It looks like it's going to require very little prep work. It's the same hood as this one:

Nice hood. I would definitely put hood pins on. It would look so much better, plus it will make ricers bow down because they will be thinking you are puttind down some serious power.

Really like the hood as well. Although im partial to them. I got mine from harwood. Was also thinking about the hood pins, cause it does shake when going fast, but i like the clean look of the hood without them.

there is the same clearance as the stock hood as far as that goes.

oh, and as far as making the r!cers think we got something under the hood, i believe that we're both faster than any r!cer you can find.

If I wanted the 'look' of hood pins I'd put some of those fake ones on I've seen on some import vehicles. On the open empty road I run it up to 5000 rpm in OD once in a while, so I'll probably get the pins.
