Cervini Cobra R Hood - Installed

Guys,
After I got off work today I decided to throw the hood on the car to see how it looks and the fit/finish. I also need to drill hood pin holes before I send it to the painter. The fit/finish is by far better than I expected. I was worried since it is fiberglass, but worry no more...EXCELLENT! Here's a few pics from today, before paint. I'll post after paint pics when I get it back. (don't rag me about my chin spoiler, I have a new one that's getting painted with the hood)

Guys...let me know what you think!

It shipped UPS Freight. I had it delivered to a commercial address so it wouldn't cost freight. Packaging was excellent. I'm gonna reuse the box to store my OEM hood, if I don't sell it.

I bought this car used, such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. The red has yet to grow on me with the silver car. I'm stripping the red off totally. I'm blacking it out. Installing smoked headlights & markers today. Already installed smoked tail lights. Ordering black wheels and gonna put the dual Lemans stripes on it. Already have a silver ROUSH windshield banner.

I still can't decide on wheels. I'm down to 2 styles.
http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...eels-0511.html
http://www.americanmuscle.com/glossb...rcf5-0510.html

I also have the 9 bar billet grill to install.

I've got a ****LOAD of rear suspension parts coming this week. Ordered the Eaton TruTrac diff, 3.73 FRPP gears, Whiteline LCA relocation brackets, Whiteline UCA, Whiteline rear sway bar, Whiteline watts link. I'm studying the wallet right now to see if I can swing the Eibach coil over setup right now.

The Forgestars are the ones I want, problem is, they're not a true forged wheel...or I'm misunderstanding the description on their website. It's hard for me to chunk down $350 per wheel when they aren't forged...ya know?

Idk I really like the red on silver cars. It stands out at least. Silver and black is pretty hard to beat a lot of times though. That new hood looks great btw

Well I think AM made up my mind about wheels today. Received an email with 10% off sale items and low & behold, there's those 19" Saleen wheels in that sale. All 4 wheels...under $600 bucks.

Hard to pass that up!

It's personal preference. I doubt there's pre drilled holes on the hood. There weren't any on my 3" cowl.
