PLEASE tell me thats just the angle you took the pic at as i really want one of these!
if you look at the distance from the bottom of the headlights to the bottom picture, you can see that the headlight on the ride side of the photo is a good deal higher up in the frame... by that, and also the location and angle of the enfini emblem, you can see that the picture was not taken straight on directly infront of the car. Dan was standing at an angle when the picture was taken, so it distorted the view a bit.

the hood is perfectly symmetrical and fits fantastic. Chuck really came through again!

Actually, I paid for a hood at the beginning of February. But it seemed like I was getting the run around in regards to when it was gong to be in production so I asked for my money back about 2 months ago. In all fairness, Chuck has promised to let me buy one at "Group purchase" price if I ever wanted one.

If there is an appreciable temp drop underhood, I will eventually buy one of these.

I thought I replied earlier, but I guess it didn't go through. I dunno...anyway yeah I'll get you that picture of whats under the hood tomorrow. Im not a very good photographer. Thats charlies expertise.
Mr. Stock, I'll keep you updated on the temps if you would like. I was gonna back out but I just decided to go with the flow since Chuck is the man I knew he would come through eventually. I can't wait to get my engine back. I'll definatly post pictures. Dave is polishing my filler neck turbo inlet pipe and AC tensioner bracket. Should turn out pretty nice. Of course I'll post pics when it's done. Thank again for all the replies
