Got my hood {yesterday} from Hawks and shipping was fast. Overall the hood is great and I've received many compliments. A+ in my book.

 

The hood is not latched all the way and no I am not 2 fast 2 furious I am going to get it painted.

 

last one.

 

looks good, cant wait to see it with paint.....post pics after it gets sprayed....

 

Looks like theres a gap in the front yoo need to lower iy

Read... I already told him that

 

rofl!! you guys crack me up.

nice hood man, it's gonna look reeeal beauty. I can't wait to see more pics.

 

92 RS JD Looks like theres a gap in the front yoo need to lower iy

my hood has a gap.. what do you lower? which bolts?

 

um, there are little rubber "screw" type bushings on the side that will lower it, but sometimes the nose is just f*cked up and it wont meet right... i have the problem on my car... kinda looks a tad off on the front, but its a tiny flaw in my diamond!! well that and the pain chips, and the crappy headliner, and the drivers seat, and the tranny leak and ... oh chit i just love my car!!!

 

yea.. i tried everything, them rubber things are like all the way down. ah well.

 

I had a similar gap on my ASCD SS Hood, to fix the problem I actually unscrewed where the nose screws on under the hood and pushed it up a little, drilled some new holes and screwed it back in...now it sits flush

 

i might do that if i take my nose cone off for the cam swap. but the nose has a slight sag in it already... ahh oh well..

 

did you try pulling the latch unit down alittle?

 

the latach?... explain

 

THe latch that the hood latches into. It is adjustable. Maybe it just needs to be moved down a little.

 

moved down you say? adjustable huh? will check out asap!! but my nose is still a tad off center, so i might not get it exact, just want it lessend..

 

I did the nose trick. I lowered my hood until it sat flush with the fender lips or top. Then un screwed the nose from the light bar and fabed up a 3/16 metal strip to put under the bumper skin where it bolts onto the light bar. That fixed the big gap that I had.

 

that hood is one of the best looking hoods for our cars in my opinion, congrats!

 

Thanks guys I chose this hood over a cowl hood because it FLOWS with the car, unlike any other hood.

 

it really does flow with the car... matches right along with the side of the front fenders... the lines of a cowl hood are to sharp,where as the jong is smooth and looks more like a muscle then a box...

 

how much did you give for it man? shipping and all?

 

469 for the hood and 150 for shipping through Roadway. The shipping would have been 88 dollars if it wasn't shipped straight to my house so I got ripped on that one. For some reason Roadway said all they could do was home delivery, just another way to get alot of money I guess.

 

The bumper impact bar underneath the cover is also adjustable, anybody with the gap problem may also want to try this as well.

 

1 more pic for anyone interested.

 

i love that hood!! i have been looking for it for a lil while... i just got my IROC about a month ago.

 

Update* hood is FINISHED. More front end mods to come.

 

looks like crap.... i say paint it red, put black louvers on it and send it to me.... ill "take care of it" muahahah!

Looks good man!

 

hood looks great!

 

It does look really good, nice job!

 

Hot damn, that looks awesome, man!

 

Hey Spinner,
Do you have any side pics with the hood on/painted? Mine's still in the shipping box in the garage, and I need some motivation to get it on.

 

I really dont have any great side shots but i will try and get some soon.
