I asked the same thing & apparently it's slightly different. I do agree that they do seem to be the same. We'd have to have a side-by-side picture comparison in order to know for sure.

i saw it today at the D&B meet. Glad that i didn't order. Don't mean to bash out the product. Just not my cup of tea.

Hey Paul,

Looking good!

Any chance you have a pic of a painted hood? Status on water guards?

Thanks!

Sorry we dont have pics of a painted one.

You willthe first with a painted fiberglass hood so please post pics .

The watergaurd is set back a few weeks (TBA is mid June).

In the mean time you can duct tape the vents. I did it when I washed my car and it worked fine with keeping water out of the engine bay .

Will do .

I guess I'll have to do that temporarily until those guards come in.

What do you guys think about it ( the hood from Red) on here painted redline of course ? ....

Oh and the headlight vinyls are just there for us to judge where to paint the headlights.. they are going to be painted when the hood is painted. No flaming on the headlights ..
We are installing turn signal LEDs in the housing right along the headlight.. Ill post pics when we get it all complete.

Looks good but is the gap between the r/f healight and hood a little far apart. Looks like in the pics its off a little.
