Finally!!! The Mistress back from the body shop!!! Here some quick snapshots... It was already starting to get dark so these are pretty crappy... also... i need to figure out how to photograph this hood... my pics just don't do it justice!!!

Here she is:

 

Man looking good JOHN better and better, I can't wait to see it in person!

 

Real nice. Are the scoops functional?

 

looks great!

 

That's pretty kewl. How much of a rise in the hood is there over stock?

 

Thanks guys!!!

Yes, the vents are actually open! I bought the Stainless Steel Screen Kit which of course is silver... which of course is reflecting the yellow... which makes it look like the vents are closed! LOL! I'll get some close up pics... Also I'm having Carl paint them black next week...think that will make it look even better! LOL!

As far as raised above stock... i would say very little... the cowls are raised a bit... it's just hard to photograph it... LOL!

 

The whole car looks great! I like the scoop design and the wheels.It looks more like a road racer now.

 

That's a nice hood and you're car looks awesome overall! The only thing that I don't like are the yellow tinted lights. Nice car though!

 

Any problems with fitment? How was the quality?

 

When I told Carl, I was thinking about going with an aftermarket fiberglass hood he kind of rolled his eyes at me and warned about running in to extra cost due to fitment problems and a lot of extra prep work, that is pretty typical with these types of hoods... Well, as it turned out there were ZERO fitment issues and Carl said it was one of the nicest pieces he had ever seen.. that it really was a high quality piece!

 

Thanks guys!!

Ok... few more pics! LOL!

Here is the underside o the hood:



Hopefully these 2 pics will give you a feel for how much the two cowls are raised...





Here's a close up of the stainless steel screen...

 

Doesn't look like there's a difference other than the vent's up front Look's good though

 

So how about rain/water issues? Or anything like that.

 

Well... I asked Cassie from MRT the same thing... she has one on her car... She said it's really not a issue... I guess we'll see! LOL!

 

Lets hope there is not one, because I am torn between the following: this one, Boy Racer, Cali Dream. I need all 3 side by side. Somebody help me. LOL

 

Well... Carl has been in the auto body business for 25 years... He commented that the MRT was one of the nicest pieces he had ever seen... He had told me some horror stories and warned me that going with an aftermarket hood I could run into all kinds of problems which would end up costing me $$$$... I think he was surprised just how well things went!

 

so the hood is or isnt functional? from the outsie it looks liek it is but from your underside it looks liek it isnt. either way its a good liiking hood. im sure the quality over the dream air hood is great

 

it's functional in that that vents are open... so it should bring cooler air into the engine bay... however there is no "plumbing" to take the outside air to the intake... so it's not like a ram-air hood...

 

well i noticed it doesnt goto the intake, but could you take a pic of the area where the vents are open under the hood. im trying to decide on hoods right now and it would help me a lot. Thanks

 

No problem...

Let me know if this what you're looking for...
