Nice find on the hood! Looks like it might need a little fit adjustment in the back by the cowl? No matter how nice of a car or a paint job, if you don't have the body panels/doors/hood lined up, it cheapens it 100%.

When I was doing the body work on my Mustang I spent dozens and dozens of hours just making sure the panels fit together correctly. :pp:

Big time steal on the hood and it looks great! My only advice with the whole theme you have going on is to pick either chrome/white or black/white. I think the black bumper lights and tail lights look a little out of place with the chrome wheels and chrome mesh, etc. The bumper lights more so than the tails. I would either get clear bumper lights and lighter LED tails or black out more on the exterior like the wheels, mesh, etc. Either way it's come a long way and looks good.

thanks everyone, and ya, anybody would have bought that hood for that price even if they didn't need it.

Kid is still in hospital, not doing so good, gots me all weirded out about it.

As far as the fitment, totally right about making it look off, but when you don't got the time to fix, whatcha gonna do ya know. It WILL get fixed tho, forget about it.

Ya Effeckt your right. I do have clear front lights, and clear rear lights. May put the fronts back on, but the backs look SUPER cheesy, IMO. Too soccer mom!!!! Everyone has em, even if they don't do anything else to there ride.

It's not done by far, so... And with everything going on right now, any, and everything I may have had planned is really put on hold right now soooo....

I totally agree with you on the clear tails. They are overly played out for sure. I was thinking something more along the lines of clear bumper lights and maybe red LED tails or something. Maybe something like this. Although if you did go clear. I think these might not look too bad.
