Very nice

I think on mine I was most impressed with the finished underside and even a spot for the light.
Even though the group purchase took awhile I was happy with the ending.

Nice Hood! It's amazing what an aftermarket hood will do for the looks of the Lightning.

And getting the underside painted is the way to go, especially if you go to shows or cruise-ins. So glad I paid the extra $$$$ for the underside paint.

They are just painted now, I am gonna possibly make
it functional next year ... If you know you wnat it functional
you can Dremel out an exhaust panel in the center that the
cowl will PLOW a tonne of air into ... The scoops would be a bit
harder ...

But for now I am VERY happy....

Been putting off replacing the stock hood, but I think the time has come. Great looking hood from all angles and underneath. I take it this is an AAD Hood?

Well, I think me and Skelton are proof that the Lightning
is ONE comfortable ride for "big" guys ... Course then
you point is well taken too. I have a friend of mine that
tips the scales at about 425-450 and drives a Cobra
Kit car ... the steering wheel is IN his belly....
