    Grip perforated SS hood paint matched to the car by the AWESOME guys at AA Collision. A little different to say the least. Cell phone pics sorry. Better photoshoot after my trunk fool of engine stuff gets back from powder coat.

    Different for sure. Post up distant shots when you can... not so close up shots.

    The aerodynamics are crazy, my commute isnt at 200+ to have to worry about aerodynamics.
    As for the rain, 1st as said I live in New Mexico, 2nd Pit VIper has had this hood on 1yr plus with no problems, and three Its garage kept and I have 2 other cars to chose from on a rainy day.
    I dont think you can really see the hood for what it is becuase i chose such close ups. From 10 ft away it looks stock. Its just up close you can start to see the holes. Heres some pics, i took earlier that day.

    Trust me Im not gonna make this car look like shit. I still have the stock hood, I still have the stock trunk for my molded AVS. I have a ton of stuff still to intstall and this car isnt close to being done before spring gets here.
    Think aboutt this, all the mods I do to my car are in no way color specific. The end of summer will bring some big changes for paint. This hood is goint to look rediculos in Matte Black.

    Of course they are hand wash only but there are those days that you just want to go to the car wash and just spray it off if you know what i mean lol

    Way cool?

    Seems like it might slow you down creating lots of drag or friction instead of a smooth surface.

    I like the look.

    Just like how a tail gate on a truck creates drag, right?

    If you really think about it there will be little to no difference.
