I could do that. If you know that the hood would fit in a Mountaineer. Then I could meet you in Soo MI.

it will fit in a mountianeer...Ash can out to Pgh to pick up his hood and had an explorer.
we had to take the hood out of the box, but they are wrapped in bubble wrap, and foam, so it still protected, and it fit fine.

my camera is still in the shop so i didn't get to take any pics. I haven't even put mine on yet.
Ash picked up his hood on Sat and one for john, so he might be able to get some pics taken too

Just some more info for you guys.
I was out at my friends shop on Friday, Putting on the DMD and changing my oil.
Just to see what it would look like, we decided to put the hood on.
First off the quality is really nice...the edges are nice and smooth & the finish is very glossy.
the only thing that is going to be a b*tch is to get it alligned right.
Each arm/hinge has 2 screws. and the hole in the arm/hinge are big, so there is a lot fo play in the alignment of the hood.
After fooling with it for about 30 mins we got it really close the only spot that we couldn't get level was up front by the drivers side headlight, but that might have been able to be fitted better with more time.
The way i'm solving it is to get hood pins.
it seemed like if the back fit right the front was a bit high and if the front was right then the back stuck up....but we weren't to patient with it either.
If any of you are familiar with or worked with carbon fiber..this is always a problem....getting it to fit right.
One other thing we noticed was that the loop in the front for the latch was about 1/4 inch shorter then the stock one.
so we removed the stock latch off the car and drilled out the holes a bit so we could reattach it and it would be higher to compinsate for the loop being shorter.
so what i decided to do is use hood pins (momo pins in the mail) and have the latch just be the safety catch.
