    Has anyone seen this hood? It looks wicked on a Charger and is done by TommyZ.

    It does look really hot on a Charger. Makes it look just like a Chally from the front.

    LXforums has a link going also but pics are not as easy to find.

    Sorry about the link but it is shown the best here....

    There is a problemn with Tommy.....no doubt. Juts read the LX Forums info. But I believe it was because he ran his mouth before he had them in stock and it took a while to get them done. First hoods shipped were not packaged very well, but it looks good and youc an get it with functional ram air.

    I currently have the first TZ Challenger/Charger hood in my shop. Overall the quality isn't terrible in comparision to other fiberglass hoods but it did need alot of sanding and some filling to make it straight. It literally is a direct copy of the challenger hood however.

    Yeah it took something like 8 months from when Fred first saw it. I can't say that I am crazy about the look but I'm trying to keep my opinion out of it.

    Heres some pics of the prep involved. The phot withthe black on the hood shows the his and lows of the glass. I did alot of blocking and some filling before I primered the hood

    If it gives you any confort Steve I don't have much going on besides work and these cars either.
