This is a stock hood with a bit of work.Looked at fiberglass hoods before the paint/body work,but a few years ago glass hoods werent so easy to come by.It ended up working out great,no bondo,only 2 little welds and plenty of PanelBond,which is damn tough and permanent stuff.Venting works awesome and rain just passes right thru the rad core,to the inlet scoop and to the ground.

Care to indulge me?

Definately agreed. I have the stock hood. If I had the hardware I'd mod a hood like that and have something sweet. The most I am going to do to the exterior and can afford to do to the exterior is the bucket lights and maybe a new front and rear bumper and side skirts.

HAHA, yes those are the stock turn signal assemblies. I have a set of talon fog lights that I will modify to make them fit an amber 2 filament bulb. I gotta have turn signals/parking lights. Its just a matter of time before I get pulled over. I also have a talon front plate bracket that will be going on soon.
