Do you have any shots from inside the car? I'm curious to see what it looks like from that view.

Thanks

No shots fron inside but someone here should have them. It's not obtrusive at all and gives a really beautiful line to the fenders from behind the wheel.

So far, I've only seen this at Corvette Garage - I'll try to give them a call in the morning and see if they stock these.. If not, I'm a bit nervous because I heard the owner of MCM has health issues - Are they still being produced?

MCM !!! MCM !!! MCM !!! I have yet heard anything negative about there hoods. In my case I did not listen and got a RKS Ram Air Hood which I like the look but it cost me a fortune to have it prepped and painted and then there is the 3 stress cracks that came out and the lousy fit.
