i was very impressed with the quality of this hood, i would reccommend it to anyone that is thinking of buying an aftermarket hood, very good fit also you dont even have to paint the underside of the hood it is actually better than the factory hood

I have a question. How does the hood fit with the tops of the doors? I have seen many aftermarket hoods not fit well here. These hoods seem to be slightly smaller in width at the point. If it fits well there I may get one myself. Looks awesome in your pics!

Whu? How did you manage to get the whole car painted for free if just your hood was damaged? The dealership here dropped my hood on a pressure tester in December and nearly puched a hole in the hood so they are paying to have my hood repaired and repainted once the weather smartens up. I'd love to be able to have them paint the whole car... Please share your persuasive techniques!!!!!
