looks good.. What does the underside look like? And to me the second rise looks bigger than the norm, maybe an inch bigger
than the common 3" Cobra R

Don't use hood pins if you don't absolutely have too. I had to with my hood sadly and hate it, they are a major PITA! They look cool, but would ruin that "clean and slow" look you have :p

If it has it good latch, it won't. My hood's latch sucks absolute d*ck and won't latch properly if it's life depended on it lol. As I said, if it doesn't need them, don't have them. I would much rather not have them, but I need them and I have gotten used to them. Took lots of trial and error to get the cords to a length that I like too.

Took the words right out of my mouth. If the hood has a steel latch you should be able to ditch the hood pins, if not, well...

you could always go with the flush mounted hood pins. Dont see a lot of domestic guys running them but they look pretty neat.

Wanna sell it? ^^^^^

The framing under the hood is broke in 3 spots and it has two tears in the fiberglass on the top half, Its the old hood off matts car from when he wrecked it. Looked like this.

Its deff fixable but shipping it is the problem, it would cost a ton to ship it. By the time you bought it shipped it and payed someone to fix it you could have bought a new one. I got it to fix it but im being lazy...
