    Semi-finished condition (will install Dzus fasteners, trim, and then paint later).

    Hood: Harwood PN 17100 SN 9 613 94 ($75 NIB from friend - hood is no
    longer available through Harwood I believe???)

    4" Harwood Cowl Scoop: NIB PN 1114 (List $149 + S&H New, $75 NIB from "Mike"
    on craigslist.com) Mounting/Trim/Prime Labor: $75
    (Mike's Auto Body Houston, TX 281-0497-5734)

    Mike came over today and trimmed the contour of the hood
    cowl-to-windshield/cowl plate today. He also cut out the center
    section of the hood to make the scoop functional (after I was sure
    I wanted this scoop).

    I talked to Mike about painting the entire car today rather than just this
    hood and another one he is working on for me (more on that later).

    Overall, I am pleased with this combo and Mike's work.

    I really like it. I am amazed that there is that much hood cut away. Would I be able to do that and then put it on the stock hinges, or does it need to be lifted out? I would even try hinging it at the front like a corvette.

    I have to do that...

    Yeah, I was a little disappointed when he painted it in Gray primer rather than Black.

    For the record, it currently weighs 18lbs (according to my Wal*Mart bathroom
    scale). I didn't think it weighed that much - not that 18lbs is a lot, relative to a stock hood.

    I'm thinking about getting a can of "Carbon Fiber" to paint it with.
    It'll probably cut the weight in half. I'll PM 'Rattle-Can Dan' for some tips. :bouncy:

    hood looks great. scooper, i don't think the hood can be used with the springs. i may be wrong but any that i have seen that use springs are reinforced in that section of the hood and also have inserts molded in for the bolts.:)
