Spent a good amount of the day getting the hood and fenders aligned. Really turned out great. The previous owner of the hood had hood pins on it but I'm not going to be using them and will be filling the holes in.

Is the rear completely open? What do you think about rain and whatnot? I know its not driven in the rain much, but things happen.

Nope, its hard to see from the lighting but the back has an oval opening about a foot across centered with a mess grill. Its actually recessed back from the scoop so its completely covered. Im thinking its either a Cervinis or an HO Fibertrends hood judging by the build quality and amount of underside reinforcements. I only paid $250 for it.

Relatively cheap, even better

Looks like a score to me esp for 250... Any idea on what you're going to do with it paint wise? Any black wrap to link up with the roof or just blue to match the car?

Its for sure going to get painted all blue for now. I dont want to do any custom type paint thats permanent for re-sale reasons. But I am thinking later on adding gloss black vinyl to the middle cowl portion to match the roof/spoiler theme.

Steal! My NIB one ended up being bad when it went to the tuner. Was worried bc I had bought it like 4 months prior from summit. Turns out there is a 1 year warranty on it, summit overnighted me a new one to the tuners shop so he could tune the next day! I'd def get the solder on pigtail from VMP and take advantage of the built in iat sensor, less holes to put in your pipes

Yikes hoping mine is in good working order. He said that when he took it to livernoise to get tuned they told him to swap out the ba5000 for his stock maf with mafia voltage extender.
