Comments:
Fit was great. I heard many horror stories about fiberglass hoods not fitting straight and warping. Mine fits perfectly and so far has no warped (knock on wood) 3 years later. Unfortunatly, the hoods come primed, not paint and the local shop who painted mine didn't do a great job.

The hood fit great! I was surprised that it fit so well. I heard stories that these hoods dont fit well. Also It looks like the stock ram air hood the most. Would recommend this hood to anyone!

Comments:
i like the hood. price was good too. it took a little time to fit, but thats pretty much a given. It was a little wavy up around the hinges on each corner.....it is fiberglass though. There was a little dimple in the middle of the hood scoop, but the body shop where i got it painted sanded it out. They said it would take some work to work out the waves. I got it painted, fitted better, and minor cosmetic work for $250. I'm happy with it.

Comments:
the hood i bought was from us exotics it was a warbird hood. the paint job came out perfect. only because the hood was preped correctly. most fiberglass hoods arn't cured when you recieve them.to cure the hood your paint shop must have a baking booth. the hood must be put in for 45min. or you could install the hood before painting it.leaving the hood on for a least one week to two.the heat from the engine causes the hood to cure.it will be noticed by resin oils coming out of the hood. the same resin comes out and causes fish eyes in your paint if you don't cure the hood before painting it. usexotics warned be about this when i bought the hood. i didn't see there name on your listing. p.s i'm a new guy. i saw jim hogan listing about bad paint job.
