That hood is sweet.The color(silver) flips really nice off the cowl:nice:

speaking of flipping, the metalic "flopped" the wrong way and in the bright sun it is 3 shades lighter! It is going in soon to be fixed.

I have heard that silver metallic is a really hard color to apply if not for the color match but just to get the metallic to flow just right.But the hood still looks great.

You have this hood correct? Did you do anything with the bare nozzles that just sit there? How long did it take you to get adjusted to not being able to see the nose of the car anymore?

Took me about a week or two to get use to the cowl from the inside. Its not as bad as some I have been in and I barely notice it now... I think I was just looking at it before because it was new :grin:. For the little copper nozzles I used some little black tubing so you could still keep them adjustable. You can barely see them on my hood from the inside because of the black stripe. Since yours is silver you could just get them set exactly how you want them then maybe hit them with some satin silver touch up paint?

How did you mount the washer nozzle feeder line? There are not any pre-drilled holes like on the stock hood.

Shaun81 2/21/07 03:02 PM

We just connected the two lines I think my installer pulled a piece out of the old hood and put them together. Theres not enough line that it will bunch up or anything when you shut the hood so its just hanging there but it stays in place... if that makes sense. I'll take a shot of it this weekend if you still need to see how they did it.

I just cut the slack out of my line and then zip tied it. Should be g2g (good to go)

Zip tied it to what? There is no spot on the hood, but did you zip it to something in the engine bay.
