Yikes, this hood project was a pain in the ***. Not looking forward to fitting the bodykit, the side skirts in particular.

Paint turned out OK. Rattle canning a space that big is tricky to get even, but its OK. It will eventually be professionally repainted, but so far, so good







Some background threads on this project.

Wow that is incredible work. Any details on the process? Is that border around a styling item or is it adding some rigidity?

Its a combination of rigidity, looks and airflow. I think with all the fiberglass and foam and whatnot, its actually stiffer than stock. Its some simple oak door trim that is fiber-glassed into place.

Very nice. Is that hood steel or fiberglass?

It is a modified factory steel hood.

Pretty sweet, no denying that! I'm going to hopefully build something similar when I get the chance. Later this summer is seeming like a definite possibility since I'll be doing all sorts of body work.

Nice setup you got there! I'd like to do a vmount, but don't want to cut the stock hood lol. Thought of adding some small efans specifically for the intercooler. I'll most likely just stay front mount.
