It fit better than the one you got but not like stock or the MCM, I like the high rise and vents got to see my Vette going down the road several times and it looked sick seeing the front of the Vette coming at you

Hood looks good, hope you can get all the issues worked out. I was wondering about the tow hook too until I saw your follow up post explaining it.

Hey guy's, that is our ZR2 hood, but unfortunately he didn't buy it through me First off I wouldn't have sold it, we knew there were issues with the fit so I am having them remade (should have them soon) It actually pisses me off that my manufacturer released these because they know there are issues with them. I am going to forward these pix to them and complain and see if I can get them to help even though it wasn't purchased from me.

See man I knew something was up!!!

BTW Quik there's a Z that bought the ZR2 hood from Extreme dimensions and has a fitment problem, hopefully contacting this member for some pics will help you to

His name is Mcanturia23

Good luck with the Ebay seller, Be prepared to hear him say " you should have checked the fitment of the hood if it could have been a concern"

But definitely good luck to you man, its a very nice hood, hope you get taken care of

I have been looking at getting that hood. Does it allow enough room to fit the tvs 2300 supercharger?
