I assume you mean about the hood? Its a good effort, but a goodmark cowl hood would look a lot cleaner.

Have to agree with atomic.... A for effort.... F on the rivets or bolts hanging out.....how much did you pay for the cowl??? I wanna say i paid less than $400 for my hood ......



Before paint, when i installed it for a test fit, that turned into a permanent test...





Fresh paint...

A friend had it so i only give 50.00. I'm going to try and save up for a full hood.
If stuff does stop braking i had a oil leak I thought it was the pan but still leaking with that redone so now i get to pull the trans and do the rear main!oh the bolts are because its a harwood bolt on.

$50 cant argue much with..... Did you replace the seal on the oil cooler adaptor bypass plate deal.... Those are a $3 part at the dealer that are often overlooked and tend to leak alot....where is the leak coming from.... Ive seen misalignment issues cause leaks on oil pans

Honest? It's hideous, would look good if it were real. The gaps, bolts stocking out. Doesn't flow at all.

If you do a google search, you can find a cowl hood for as low as $260 to as much as $600...

The oil is coming from in the bell housing area so I ordered the rear main seal and plate.
Thanks for your honesty I didn't try to make it look like a real hood thats why its a bolt on just like a bolt on fender flare or whatever and I have something coming for the gaps, the front bolts actually broke tightening them so with what I have coming and new bolts it will take care of the gaps. Again thx for your thoughts everyone.
