Lance,
After speaking with you on Friday, I sensed the indecision in your voice. I instructed Jan to hold off on ordering the hood until she speaks with you on Monday.
This means you didnt make a mistake at all but inturn gained some time to research this and make a choice your happy with. Jan will call you in the morning and you can give her your final choice then

These pics are a little old ..car now has L5 fender flares, tigershark front and will have new revamped IForged aeros in the rear 20x12.5 with 5.5" lip when they arrive at the shop. But you can get an idea of what your car will look like with a TS hood in those pics...Thanks for posting Jon

I have the MCM supercharger hood and was very happy with the fit and finish. No problems on install. Don't know the Eckler's hood, so can't help you there. The Tigershark hood is very nice also; on looks alone, tough choice between it and the MCM hood. One thing I am sure of is Autobuffs-- man, what a class act

If I were going to get one, I'd get the MCM hood that has the carbon fiber showing on the outside. Awesome quality and perfect fit. But, it's your money so you have to decide. Good luck. And great customer service by AutoBuffs to sense your uncertainty on what to do.

After seein gobth hoods in this post I'm even more sure. MCM. I like the vent a little farther up the hood than the Tiger Shark has.
Again, YOUR personal choice.
Good luck

I love the MCM style hoods but I think I am leaning more towards the Tigershark hood. Mostly because there are far less Corvette's with them. I such a tough decision between the two.

My car is up at Autobuffs right now getting some work done,including replacing the stock hood. I'm also getting the Tigershark front end. I had been bouncing around both the Ecklers High Rise(MCM knock off hood) and the Tigershark hood. I finally decided on the Ecklers yesterday. Did I make a mistake?

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone.
What I did was something most vendors on this board would do and I hope it gave Lance enough time to make a decision he is happy with
Thanks again
Regards
