The Good, Bad, Ugly and the Awesome!

-The good; after falling in love with this hood at the SSCR, I found an amazing deal on one from Ebay...

-the bad- deals that are too good to be true, are. Arrived with not only a huge chip in the corner (see pic) in a box with ZERO padding packing.. litterally... hood in a box... but also an unsightly wave in the corner... thank god my body guy Mike Meyers at Chrome Fish Customs is a god!

-the ugly- after nearly 2 weeks of trials, taping, re taping, clearing, re clearing, painting, repainting... I, the bitchy consumer, was happy with the look! I had a very specific desing for the stripes in mind, it had to be perfect! However, upon installation- the latch lever hit the underside of the hood, causing chips in the fiberglass, and the front had a "Joker-esque" sh!t eating grin... aka- hood tip dipped well below the fascia lines, while the front corners rose above the fender lines! A-lot!

-The awesome; with some help from Jim at Ohio Speed (coming to the immediate rescue of a fellow forum member!) I was turned on to some tricks to adjust the alignment... and amazingly- I have almost a perfect fit!!!! one last adjustment to make (when I get time, ) and it's golden!!!!

These are preliminary picks from delivery... I still have yet to receive the new "6.2L" emblems, and haven't even started the underhood saga... that's a whole post unto itself. But, here she is for now (pix prior to hood leveling adjustments...)

Damn, brother! That looks GOOD!!!

And you really can't even tell with the lines that there's anything wrong at all. Looks like a good fit.

And yep....that's why I won't ever buy anything off of ebay. Nuts they'd send something w/out any packaging at all.
