Not bad at all! Now that that's done, time to work on the BIG WIN LIP (yes, copy it!) for the 97-00' front bumper!

at first i was in love with this hood, and really wanted it, but the fitment is still REALLY off in several spots. i appreciate the effort and realize it's hard to get it perfect, but in my opinion, its still got a ways to go before you make a mold and start stamping these out.

I like the design. It follows the lines of the car really well.

Actually, don't let the front gap in the pics deter you, the hood we made had a short latch, so we mickey-moused the hood shut in the pictures above.

The hood actually fits very snug, I'll take more pics when we make a new one so you can see how flush it sits in the front.

I like it, its different. not sure if I would own it though, almost feel it raises up too much, but I think thats the point.

And I hate mesh, wonder how it would look without it.
