Orange car show chairs!!!

Shiraz --- This photo reminds me - LoL we have some nearly-new Orange fold-up/camping chairs kicking around the shop somewhere, aside from no-one likely to steal them ;), they also match the GT350 for car show purposes :thumbsup:

oh snap, a thread for orange gt350's! ��

here's mine and it's a 2016 track pack, w/stripes and black roof... haven't done anything to it, don't really plan to, but just passed 1200 miles finally!

2017 GT350 white with blue stripes "H1807"
There are rubber bumpers you can adjust up/down.
Actually those rubber bumpers on each side of the car that the hood rests on when closed won't fix this issue. When I first picked up my 2015 GT it had this same problem, to fix it you have to reach down and loosen the bolts for the hood latch mechanism itself. Pull it upward and with that upward pressure applied tighten the bolts. This will allow the middle section of the hood to set where it needs to be.

...Assuming it's the flex in the weight-saving aluminum hood material...

dwalker - Makes sense... I'm assuming it's the flex in the weight-saving aluminum hood material...
