Wow, an SS hood is definately going on my priority list. Dude, it looks amazing. Your car looks so bad, man! In the future we might have close to the same cars, but with different colors. Damn, that looks good though. Congrats.

Looks great.

I can't think of anything that would make your car look better if it were only about changing one thing on it. And you're right....they would look identical from the fron aside from the color. (And I'd be pissed too, cause I'd love nothing more than to have my car Super High Gloss Black.

Oh well, as long as it stays clean, it look's good. So, my next project is going to be getting the top of the car painted black, and then I'll have to finally make up my mind about painting the center post's of my wheels black.

I snapped these pics before I even took the hood out of the van, just because of how shiny it looked in there. It's not so noticable during the day because the white is so brite, but when the sun starts going down, the hood has a bit more shine to it. I guess it's time for some more polish and wax.

I don't know about that. I've had quite a few of my new parts for over a year now, some for almost two waiting install.

I have to disagree on the eBay thing. Its not that you bought it off eBay, its who you bought it from and who made the hood that really matters. But its a given fact that aftermarket parts don't fit as well as the real thing.


Car looks really nice. I'm not fan of the SS hood, but I think it looks good on your car.

I'm guessing that those parts you've had for a year or two, are things you bought and have been sitting somewhere until you can get them installed? If so, then I guess I should have phrased it differently.....you see, I've been posting threads about the progress of my hood for close to 7 months now, there's been someone slowly working on it and telling me it's gonna be done by a certain time, only to have me post another thread saying "it's finally gonna happen" only to get jerked around again.

But hey, I guess if you've had something for over a year that's still awaiting installation, then you've got me beat by a long shot, and apparently my post should have been shorter with just a: "ok my hood's done and here's the pictures....Period.

As far as disagreeing with me on the ebay thing......well, that's your choice. I realize that companies like RKSport sell things on eBay sometimes, but as far as I'm concerned, that's actually buying it from them, and that wasn't what I was talking about. Again, next time I'll make sure I'm more careful in the way I explain myself about something so that you'll be happy, and I won't have to spend my time defending what I posted in a thread that's supposed to be about showing everybody the pictures of my new hood. But, I never stop warning people about the SH*TTY FUKED UP hoods that they're selling on eBay.

Although you decided to spend the first 80% of your post tryin to one up me or disagree with what I said about eBay, I do appreciate your compliment about the hood looking good on my car, even though you really don't like the SS hoods. I'll give you credit for being honest, and at least you had something nice to say in there towards the end, which is more than I can say for someone else who decided that instead of complimenting on how my car looks, (whether it be good or bad) he'd rather just come in here and try to be funny by defacing one of my pictures.

So, now that I'm finished with my rant, I want to say thank you to everyone who had enough thoughtfulness to say they really liked my car with the new hood on it.

Arch- take a second and breathe..nobody is tryin to start anything here..

I don't think Caleb was 'defacin' one of your pics, just kinda making a joke that your stock hood is sad because it isn't on your car anymore.

I bought my first hood for my car off ebay, but it happened to be a Harwood that someone was selling so I don't count that as what you would call an "ebay" hood. I know what you meant and fully agree. I have seen many people both local and here that have bought a cheap hood threw some paint at it and called it good. You hate to tell them that you think it looks good because IMO, a crappy fitting wavy aftermarket hood looks worse than a stock one.

But being a person that pays attention to the small details, I think your wait for your hood was worth it. It fits pretty good considering what you started with. I like the look, now you just need to get some go-fast parts under that hood!!

Oh yeah- I posted almost two and a half years ago about my stroker so my waiting mod time is longer..

yea that hood seems to fit pretty well from the pics. I have a Harwood and its kinda crappy, you can see where the the design is off in the pics and mine sticks up on the drivers side by the light.
