VaporDude Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I haven't had much time to get the car detailed the way I like but I finally had some time tonight. Here are pictures of the hood and side scoops installed. This is the Trufiber hood and SPP side scoops. I am very happy the way it turned out.

blueovalkid Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks really good Greg! Any idea if there is enough room for a 3.6 KB under that hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalwrench Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks nice. Did you use emblems on the bottom the hood with decals or what? The outside scoops match wonderfully too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporDude Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks really good Greg! Any idea if there is enough room for a 3.6 KB under that hood? I don't really know Clint. I think a TVS might be in the future. Looks nice. Did you use emblems on the bottom the hood with decals or what? The outside scoops match wonderfully too. Those are decals under the hood. Airbrushing costs too much and I am not an artist. Thanks for all the compliments. My body shop guy is family and he does a great job on any car he gets into his shop. The cars don't leave the shop unless it gets his blessing. He went through several paint formulas to get the color to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAMstng Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 The new hood looks great!! I love that color scheme. You may have answered this before but, what made you decide to get a Trufiber rather than a Shelby SuperSnake hood? Was it price, availability, or craftsmanship, or was it a combination? I am curious because I am also ready to purchase one of these type of hoods and with the SuperSnake from Shelby available, I am not sure what to do. Sorry, one more question, are the stripes painted?

Steve I went with the Trufiber because of all of the above. This hood had a great gel-coat on it from the factory and prepping was easier. I love the SS hoods but you also had to buy the grills separately which adds to the over-all cost. The stripes are vinyl from Stuck-On-You Graphics.

VaporDude Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks again guys...... Now I also need to get a set of stronger hood struts. Does anyone know where I can get a set from? All I need is the struts. Also looking for maybe some KR style 18" wheels. I have a set of the KR wheels in my garage waiting to be put on to some wheels.

FiaCobra Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 The hood looks great. The only thing I do not like is the under hood graphics. I prefer it plain. We all know it's a GT-500...no need to advertise it even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to look into those. I currently have the MRT struts. I was hoping to just replace the struts since I have all the mounting hardware.

eric_gt500 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Looks sweet - I love mine too. Have debated about the side scoops but haven't pulled the trigger yet on those. Like what you had done on the interior of the hood as well. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
