Default My new hood is nice.

My L-88 hood came in and I'm very pleased with it. My buddy got the same one a month ago and the fit was spot on. The owner said that his long L-88 hoods need to be worked to get the fit desired but not these short ones. I went without the airbox so I could bring my dual 450's and velocity stacks through the hood.

Very nice! Are you going to put the chrome trim on the front edges?
