SS Hood "Finally" Installed Today!!!
 
26 Attachment(s)
That's right,..........you read it correctly, I actually have the friggin hood on my car after all this time! This "HAS" to be the record for the longest mod awaiting install in the history of the site. :D (If not, it's gotta be close)

And after all that time I had to put up with the dumbsh!t's excuses,...........and also claiming that he was "the man" for fixing my warped hood.........it's still fu*ked up big time! :mad: The rear corners actually turned out great, but the front, (especially the passenger's side) is still way too high. I may have to pin it down in the front. :(

Anyway, I was in a hurry to get the thing on before it got dark so that I could snap some photos,......so I didn't bother messing with the alignment, I'll take care of that tomorrow. Now most of these pictures are going to be on the driver's side because of the high left corner, so some of them will look very similar........

Looks fricken awesome Arch. A great combination of exterior mods! The pics with the dark clouds in the bg look awesome! Congrats on finally getting the hood installed, it compliments the rest of your car, and just looks badass.

FINALLY! Wow that looks so good Arch. I absolutely love it!

I REALLY like that. A SS hood is like on my most wanted list right now.

Str8upChevy 06-16-2006 06:59 PM

"WOW"......you guys are awesome man! :thumbsup: I really do appreciate all the nice things said about the way it looks. And even though it's not a perfect fit, once I get it aligned it won't be all that noticable. (but I'll still be buying a higher quality hood for it this winter.

To answer your questions Tom........yeah, I have the grill insert for it, I just forgot it at home when I borrowed my Bro-in-laws van to go pick it up, but it's in there now. ;) No, it's not funtional as in the "SS Ram Air" unit that sits on top of the motor. Those things IMO defeat the purpose of have the cold outside air coming into the motor, and that's because it does sit right on top of the "HOT" motor, which inturn heats it up before entering the intake. I'll stick with the CAI, it works better for that. :)

And last but certainly not least......it "IS" infact an aftermarket hood that I bought off eBay, and was without a doubt, THE "BIGGEST"MISTAKE, I've ever made since I bought the car. I "CANNOT" stress this enough when it comes to anybody thinking about buying a fiberglass hood off eBay.......DO NOT DO IT!!! :banghead:

I love those pics too,......infact they've become my favorite pictures ever taken of my car. The one that's really dark.....I think I'm going to have that one printed out on Photo Paper and Framed. :D

Sorry Jason...:(....I'd love to tell you that I did, but the only way I can currently post pictures here, (with my lack of computer knowledge) is to put the setting on the camera at the lowest setting. Otherwise they're too big to post in a thread.

I can and will however take some more pictures of it with the camera set on the higher resolution after I get the hood aligned, and get it all cleaned up. I'll go out and find a killer spot for a Photo Shoot so that I'll have something that's maybe "Calendar" worthy should it make the Grade. :)
