The hood looks pretty good so far.
So those hoods come with a blocked scoop? Why would they even have one? lol

Oh sweet! I didn't notice you shaved the scoop line till you mentioned it. Looks sweet! I wanna see an under-hood shot to see what you did with the "funtional" part.

I am chiming in to say that if you don't heat up your inner fender and push it to where the other one sits... you suck.

DO IT!

So you can fit some wheels otherwise the flares were a waste...

Image
