How did you go about the painting of the hood? It came unpainted then you must have taken it to a shop and they matched it and painted it for you?

Very cool sir! My car is a daily and has now 105k on the odo. And for the suspension the only thing I have done so far is Pfadt 1.25 drop springs all 4 corners and the Pegasus solid cradle bushings and she handles great ! But I reall want my LOD intake to get here !! lol

Yes sir! Last December while I was off work on Christmas break for a week I left the hood at one of my local body shops and they paint matched it to the car, inside and out both sides are RJT and cleared, the stripes are the gradient flame stripes from American Car Craft. Gonna do the same with my LOD intake and new valley tray.

The fit and finish on this hood was flawless ! I had a friend get the Harwood cowl hood, which is just a raised cowl, no function, but open in the back to let heat out and that hood needed a ton of body work to fill all the pin holes in the gelcoat, plus it didn't line up properly in the car, took them 2 days on the body work and several hours to get it lined up on the car, but turned out ok..
I'm glad to great the MPD1 hood is such good quality! I've been looking at one for a while now. Maybe one day I'll end up with one.

Yea I looked at a lot of hoods over the years and some custom ones on cars here in town, even carbon ones, decided on this one and the rest is history!! Good luck, you won't be disappointed if you do get one.
