FYI: My hood is definatley going to need hood pins....I took it up to 130 mph yesterday and I had to back out of it, it was shaking worse than my stock hood by quite a bit. I lowered the hood latch to get a tighter seal, and adjusted the hood bumper's. I've been studing the new hood and the pin location delima, and I think the solution is going to involve fabricating a bracket to weld the pins to. That way you can properly locate the pins to work right...

There you are! I knew you didn't leave us for a Saturn forum like somebody said?
The car looks great and I think the hood looks wicked just by itself.
You will be sooooo happy with the lower gears!

LOL that Saturn crowd is rough...
Yah I'm going to leave the hood just like it is (no skull's ect.). It look's clean and classic.I'm probably going to wish I went with 4.10's, I cant wait to get them in.

It does look clean and classic. There's only 5% diff with the gears. 3.90's is still low enough for fun and strip. The stripes look good in combo with the hood also. Good thing you blacked out that license plate.............you want to stay incognito, ya know!

VJ - the new hood looks outstanding on your steed. Although I'll miss "The Punisher" - it looks fantastic without it too.

I was hoping this hood would stay put a little better. I'm just going to have to get creative. My buddy has a nice welder, so I will start fabricating this weekend.

Car looks awesome. That is my favorite hood so far and now that I know what it looks like with the stripes I am hooked.

Thank's Adrenalin, I think you would have been proud of my vinyl guy. He did a great job tucking the stripe's into the scoop's.

Sound's good! PM me...<!--QuoteBegin-red454@July 20, 2005, 6:39 PM
I have wondered what stripes would look like on that hood with such a large space between the inlets...
That really looks nice. Great job.
