Default **New Hood Pics!!**

Well, it took about a month to get everything done but I have to say that I love my new hood. About a month ago my brother backed onto my car when it was parked in the driveway. We decided to go through insurance b/c the estimate was around 4k. The car needed a new front facia and hood.

I thought it was a great opp to get a new aftermarket hood out of it so I had them order the Ecklers MCM knockoff hood. The shop said that it needed a little work but the fitment was perfect. I have to admit that I couldn't be happier with the quality of service that I recieved from Mcleod Autobody in Kirkland Wa.

Ok so now on to the pics!!!!

I was just thinking the same thing. Did you make a wrong turn and end up in Japan?

Very nice. I have a couple of questions.

-Why do you call it a knock off? Is there a different 'real' one?

-Is the vent operational?
