Hood arrived today in flawless condition. Went by the shop so painter could shoot a test panel for a solid color match. Definitely looking forward to it.

Lots of progress today. Got the solid gloss on the vent and hood is painted. Painter wants some time to buff things so will install on Monday.
First picture is from yesterday where they were struggling with the vent. Second picture from about 30 minutes ago coming out of bake cycle. Painter is going to buff everything and we will install on Monday.

Today was the big day, got the hood installed. Weather is pretty awful so will have to wait for better pictures. I am extremely happy with the paint job. The shop really bent over backwards to make sure it was excellent. Install was pretty painless. Always helps having experienced body tech do the installation lol. Fitment is pretty damn good. The only extra step that was required was the use of a step drill bit where the rear seal clips in. The holes were just a bit too small but this was quick fix. It really looks awesome, it will take some getting used to as it does obviously sit a bit higher up from driver seat perspective. Rain tray is installed currently because were coming on 48 hours of rain.

Look great. I'm guessing the IAT's will be much higher with that hood not having much vents. I have the stalker hood and have 2 heat extractors plus the ram air duct and my IAT's at a light can get quite high over the stock hood.
