Default New hood installed quick pics

Picked up the car today from getting the rksport hood painted and having the front bumper resprayed. While it was getting painted I had the trackspec vents added to help with engine bay temps from the iron block and procharger.

Pipe from the i/c to tb is touching the hood right in the middle messing with the gaps. Gonna tackle it tomorrow and see if I can get it perfect. Still need to install the fog light mesh inserts and license plate mesh insert.

Looks great. How much prep work was involved in getting the hood ready to bolt on the car?

Thanks guys im happpy with the way it turned out.

vetteman jack-I was told there wasnt much that had to be done before paint. I opened the box when it arrived and the quality looked very nice.

i got all my mesh inserts installed today. I also tried trimming the pipe under the hood some to get it aligned a little better. This the best I could get for now.
