The hood is painted and buffed out. Waiting to have the Bubble, Air Grabber Door and the back of the Hood painted.

The color match is very close. I didn't want to get into blending the fenders etc.

Waited out the weather at the car wash. I hit the road at the end of rush hour traffic :nuts . Surprising only the rear of the car was really dirty. Next step is to install the bubble, air grabber door, decals, switch, canister, lines, hood pins and what ever else I forgot. After the hood is functional off to Auto Services of Old Saybrook for Exhaust and then 1320.

The hood looks great Ralph, the grabber will make it look lean and mean!

Looks good!

How much does the grabber help?
Is it noticable in your mph?

I am sure that big hole in the hood really helps in the rain. What's with the front bumper? It looks like Bronze chrome. Oh wait, now it looks normal whern the car is outside.

Do you really think that cold air, jets and bigger pipes will pick up a second?
