So i purchased my car with an aftermarket hood. Lines were horrific. Traded 3 bells for a perfect stock hood. Yes 3 bells ! Since hood was wrong color i decided to fix stone chips in the front cover at the same time. I took it off to find that a previous 3" crack had been repaired. Ordered a new G.M. cover today.

Hood looks good, I don't like the aftermarket hoods either.

Lucky son...handed HRE's from Dad?

Not sure why anyone would prefers stock rims over HRE's but I'm sure your son didn't complain.
