hey thanks for hosting those for me, and i fixed the problem alot of people had with that hood. the main complaint was that the front where it meets the oval and headlights dosent go all the way down and looks opened a small bit. well you need hoodpins anyways and if not and its just for show purposes you need to remove the bump stops under your hood that allows the hood to go down all the way like a oem hood. mine fits on there 99% like my stock one did except for a 1/8 inch more gap on each side,but hey who cares look at the beauty of the hood.

Very nice. I cut my bump stops down to get the hood to sit lower (just enough so that it would latch, lower than stock look though). With the gaps on the sides, you can loosen the bolts holding the fenders on and push them toward the hood a bit to remove some of that gap.

I would love a trunklid, but I am in the process of making decisions that would impact this. If this is the case I would like to know pretty soon.

Im planning to get a hood like that as well soon. By the way in my opinion I think those hood pins shouldve been more cenetered as in a bit closer to each others.
