lol. No need to spend money on new tires... I'm sure there's more stretch left in these.

I'm not gonna lie I was impressed with that hood when we put it on. It's just a good looking hood.

Great looking hood you got and sure goes well on the car. You've done some nice mods to the car.

There's always that one guy who has to pick it apart lol

I actually really like the stretched look. Hence why I did it lol

But yes, "proper" sized tires will be in order.

Thanks for the comments guys.

My fault... I figured you like a good razzing since you're usually "that guy"

If you're gonna roll "hella flush" at least match up the look on the front. Fronts are kinda lookin like DR's compared to the rears. And what's the plan with the stripes? Putting them on the hood or removin them from the deck lid and roof? Man, you must be pullin some O.T.!

It's a temporary look, so I really didn't care. Gotta admit, it looks pretty good considering lol
Stripes will be painted over.
And damn..imagine if I did pick up OT....all I do is my three 12's.

Definitely different, sets the car apart to say the least.

I know it's not everyone's taste. But it is pretty cool.

Thanks Pete, great customer service.

Hood fitment is superb.






And here is just a fun shot of the rest of the car prior to hood.
How did I miss this thread! Looks great and thanks for the compliments

FWIW

I hit speeds up to 170 with this hood with ZERO issues.

Incase anyone was wondering about the durability of this hood in particular.

You should definitely paint that mesh black, would look a lot classier.
