Yea its going to be nice when people ask what kind of hood i have...and my reply will be "custom"

But The ACS ports dont come out into production until End of april and im low on the pre-oder list so i bet end of may before i get them on the car. And the Hex Vents are also preorder with a release date of end of may.

Sooo were looking at June:cry:

T-3 Hood Ports installed over the Weekend.

What a challenge these things were....holy crap it wasnt easy:help:

BUT the outcome looks fantastic!!

Started with ripping the hood off and masking off the Areas to be cut.

(Some of these photos wouldnt allow me to rotate them...sorry)

Using a demel like tool started cutting.
I let my buddy...the body/paint Tech make the first cut...i was too scared:laugh:

One hole

Two holes
http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/denali22/134.jpg

http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/denali22/135.jpg

Back side probably took us a total of 3 hours to cut everything out:facepalm:

Test fitted the top ports

Then we glued them using the issued 2 part epoxy and let them sit over night.

The next morning we sprayed the backing black, only a small portion shows through the screen so we matched the screen color.

Then we let those dry and test fitted and glued these rear pieces on
