My new cowl hood

hey guys well i got my fiberglass hood in today... its a 3 inch bolt on cowl hood from hardwood.... im getting rid of my badly damaged powerbulge hood..... i was so excited that wanted to put it on top of my current hood to see how it looks..... it looks badass, it looks sooo muscular : )

i also decided to put on my new front bumper and driver side headlight on today because my stock one was hit and damaged by a hit and run driver two years ago.. so i need to put the gta badge on.... im still waiting for my new hood latch and cables before i actually put it on.. i do not want to put hood pins on this beautiful hood...

Re: my hardwood cowl hood

Your title said hardwood. I was expecting to see a hood made out of wood!

Re: My new cowl hood
