I think it looks GREAT, but the pictures (except for the last one) look like CRAP. Maybe you saved them for web or something (they almost look like GIFs) but the quality of the pics is low.

Neat hood! It looks beautiful from the side. Very aggressive. Even the spoiler looks better.

Is it just the reflection, or are the rocker stripes wavy, like the painter was drunk?

I can work on a car but my PC skills are "Crap," I have a Sony 5.1 Megapixel digital camera and each photo is about 1.5 to 2.0 megs and I have to make the image 200kb or less to post. If anyone can clue me in to how to do this and maintain good quality photos I am all ears. B)

Whatever software you're using, there should be a "smart resize" or "smart resample" that lets you resize and it will make it look good.

If your software doesn't have that ability, grab Photoshop free (30 day trial) or PaintShop free (www.jasc.com 90 day trial) and use the tools, very easy to do.

Looks good, and it's great to see a Sonic Blue car with the Steeda hood. That's my color, and I was thinking about the hood, that helps!

The side shot seems to scream to me for larger diameter rear wheels and tires though. Arrgh, more money I've got to set aside!

Hey dhof303, does the Steeda hood have pre-drilled holes for the wiper sprayers ?

Alos, what is the weight of this hood. I know the stock is Aluminum

Did you have the whole car repainted? Just curious because that doesn't look like sonic blue, at least mine has never looked that dark before, maybe it's just the lighting or the camera.

Steeda has no provisions for the sprayers but I did post a solution to this several weeks ago, look back a few pages for Steeda Cowl Induction hood. I placed them under the cowl upside down. I don't know the exact weight of the hood but it is slightly heavier than the stock one.

Yes it is Sonic Blue, the color was matched by Autocolor, they just released a code for this paint color and it is now available for those of you who have scratches or a dent that needs repair. The parts of the car that were painted were: Hood/roof/front and rear bumpers/Wing/and the deck lid.

Looking good and I'm loving the Sonic Blue!

Second pic looks like a chop for some reason?

How well did the paint match? I know that metallic paint can be a pain to get the right shade... From the pics it certainly looks like it matches -
