OK, gotta know details of where & how much. I know it's not allowed to say unless they are sponsors so you can e-mail me here if they are not. Looks awesome, looks like they may be able to slide the hood toward the bumper @ the hinges/supports maybe.

Good looking hood- I've always liked the ss hoods. Yours looks like it will line up correctly, it's just pushed back (look at where it lines up against the fenders at the windshield.) Keep the pics coming!

**Fury_786** · 03-20-2010, 02:26 AM

if it says made in canada on the bottom, it'll line up great

i had the worst luck with ebay hoods not lining up for crap

Be thankful it's not red, I think they mix gold in with it.

I did an Ebay hood as well.. the way to get rid of that gap at the front is to notch the hood hinge to allow the hood to slide forward... not a big deal, just alittle time consuming.
