These are some pics with the stock hood back on, as the SS cowl is still in the shop being repaired. Doesn't look as agressive, but I guess I'll live with it for the time being (prob shoulda spent that money on engine mods not a hood lol). Just got bored and was gonna add some to my garage or the gallery, but it still wouldn't let me upload so I posted them here.

What color is that? It looks like a metallic orange/red or something in the light.

The color according to GM is called Cheyenne (and yes it is similar SOM with a little more red). Yea I think the car looks much better with the SS hood as well. About the cost of painting, my dad is friends with the guy that does all our body work so getting my front bumper put back on and painted along with the SS hood was only $400 total. Normally you get estimates that high and higher for either the bumper or hood by itself, not together, so I feel I got a really good deal. David (the owner of the body shop) told me if anyone else was having done what I did it would have prob cost them twice that. My dad repainted his whole truck about 6 months ago and David only charged him a little over $500 for that (just materials, no labor). If the paint is just chipping and the bumper is all ya need painted then, I would say even after they blend it back on the fenders to help it match, you still would be in the neighborhood of $400 to $500 dollars I would think (unless you know someone like I do).

Haha...good question. IDk I was just kinda bored and I was about to wash my Ventura (you might see it in the background) and I had the camera so I just snapped some. The ones with the cowl I actually took while we were leaving on the way back to the body shop with it. I guess another reason is because that is where I park most of the time at my house. I plan on doing a nice shoot when I get the hood back, and I have the time to do a nice detail and wax job.

I'm actually checking on some 10 spoke SS wheels right now because of the price I can get them for, but later on I would like some TTIIs or something similar to them (TTIIs are really getting played out but they look so good). Thanks for the comments too BTW.

I think thats a decent price to pay. I do know a manager that works for maaco.. maybe he can cut me a deal

Hopefully if you know him he will. Well I was hoping to get my SS hood put back on Monday, but my fiancee's grandfather died today about 8 pm so that will have to wait until after the funeral and the 4th of July. As soon as I get some pics after it is reinstalled I'll post them, but it may be a few days because a family crisis like this is def more important than my car (as much as I do love it, at the end of the day it's still just a nice, fast, piece of metal and parts)

Sorry to double post, but yea I've always thought those wheels made cars look . They were prob my fav SS wheel they made, although I did like the ZR1s as well.
