So is anybody having a problem with how they fit? Do the lines match up good?

It is easy, they are a good fit. Mine went on right where I marked the hinges on the factory original. Only down side so far(year and a half) is they are so light you have to close them side to side because the struts from the original hood are to strong.

Especially out here in Texas The sun cooks these things and Fading takes place. If you have a car port, garage, or car cover get it, if not dont be suprised if the hood starts to fade.

and the the hood is functional. It comes with a cover you can unbolt from the underside of the hood. Ill see if i can post better pics

Please do!! I'd like to see a close up of the vents. I'm liking this hood more and more every time I see it. I was only hesitant of it because I heard bad things about the fit of that brand. It seems like there are more and more people that saying it fits well. Looks like the quality stepped up.

hood

Yea Im very pleased with the quality of the hood. I bought mine off of ebay for 795.00 I think with shipping and all it was almost a grand. The only thing I didnt like was their service. I paid Paypal so they had my money in like 2 min. Before I ordered it I asked if they had in stock or they still had to make it, they told me they had in stock and that it would take 7 to 15 days to come in. Later I called and they told me that I had to wait for it. It took like almost 1 month and a half. Well worth the wait though. Atracts attention like crazy. Ill get pics of the body seems and everything tonite.
