like where is it?? Our border is still closed!! lol
Hopefully the borders will be open by next September.
Looks good. I was thinking of that front end for my 19 PP2. Are the vents in front actually open? That would allow better placement of a new oil cooler and possible trans cooler at some points(I track my car). Does the under tray have the slots that direct air up to the brake cooling deflectors?It’s finished and I love it!!!
my shop “Rags to Riches” did it all!! They had to paint and fit the hood and Facia....it’s perfect and the color is absolutely bang on!!!
It’s finished and I love it!!!
Mine are just the plugs... no actual locks !! Might be a better route for you to go and a hell f a lot cheaper!! To me it finishes it off perfectly!!
Ah! Thanks.
Yes they are... but cheaper than going your painted hood etc option. .. I just do it!!Ah! Thanks.
I've not seen plugs that look like the ones you have, yet. I'll ponder my direction more. If I go with the real deal I'll probably go with Quik-Lock 50 and you know those are expensive.
Thanks again.
I received my hood a few days ago and hope to provide pre-paint photos later for those who want more detailed photos than what the MP Concepts and Am Muscle websites have.
Regarding air extraction flow comparisons between the MP Concepts hood versus the stock hood, see the photo below. Note that this is only considering the metal hood openings, and not rain guards, honeycomb louvers, insulation, and etc. restrictions. With approximately 8x improved air flow that made sense for me in Florida, which is actually what prompted my purchase. For those with the Vicrez/IKON hood, your air flow in the BIW should be much greater without the rain guard especially.I received my hood a few days ago and hope to provide pre-paint photos later for those who want more detailed photos than what the MP Concepts and Am Muscle websites have.
But for now, to those who also wondered about the faux hood latches, here's a photo. (They and the double-faced tape come with the hood, I learned.)
As and FYI, Installing functional hood latches with the MP Concepts hood will be a real, potentially useless challenge it seems. The hood's latch approximate location is 4-to-5 inches forward of where the radiator structure is. There may be a bumper support under the cover. I'll have to check it out, but as you can see below, this is an awkward location to drill a hole.
Note that when scaling photos of the Vicrez/IKON hoods, it appears their location is similar. My only guess is that these hood suppliers want to keep the pins in their GT500 relative exterior position. As we know, the GT500 front end structure is designed perfectly for hood latches in that location, but for our non-GT500's, not-so-much.
