Hail damage......so I got a new hood

Well, since my car got damaged by the hail we had a couple of weeks ago here in Ohio, I decided to put money on a new hood rather than getting the dents pulled on the original. Here are some pics of the hood being fitted. Hope to have the paint done by this weekend.

Thanks to The Race Car Factory for a great looking hood!

Yeah I didn't realize until it was on, so its on until I replace it with the other one. I figure it will eventulaly get scuffed up and I'll take it off....

Yeah, thats one of the reasons I like it too. It's not too 'loud'.

Very nice. Love the retro look, but, like jacostang, I would black it out. JMO. Looks great either way!

Suits your car well, a fine choice. I would leave it the way it is it looks clean and shows the hood of well with your Legend Lime colour. How was the quality, did it need alot of prep time?

Thanks everyone.

I got it from http://www.theracecarfactory.com/ . Great people to work with. As far as prep work, the place I had do the work has been around for years. They said that it is one of the best hoods they've seen as far as prep and fit.

All in all though, I am really happy about the turn out.
