I know this conversation is about struts but your hood looks awesome.

Thank you! I’ve been getting lots of compliments!

Are you planning to get that clear coated? I really like that hood, but not sure if clear coat is necessary.

Looks to have either a clear coat or resin I just buffed and ceramic coated it’s garage kept hardly ever parked in the sun.

Can we get some more pics from different angles? I love the newer gt500 look of this hood. I ended up cutting a hole in the stock hood and adding a camaro heat extractor vent for the time being, but still want this thing.

Hope this helps I personally love it.

Thanks! that's a great looking hood. i'd be very tempted to paint the vents or paint the hood and leave the vents carbon so they stand out more. Maybe vinyl wrap the hood except for the vents, lol! it would be a shame to cover up all that carbon fiber though.

I know what you mean I wanted to paint the vents too but was impatient and swapped it out fast. I like the carbon fiber look too probably keep it this way for a while.

Yes, but totally worth it.
