The brackets will get rounded off and painted. Either body color or black? The hood is from AAR,fits very well, The scoop is from unknown mfg. It came off my buddy's A990 car. The first piece of carpet has been test sewn and fitted also. Doug 7092203-racecar768.jpg (111 downloads)

The price was defiantly right though. I did have to fix a couple of cracks as this was once on the famous "Volcano" hood to satisfy NSCA rules. Doug

When you paint hood pins and brackets all they do is chip, no matter how careful you are. Car is looking good!

We made a hood that was bowed up about 4" in the middle. Then the scoop was bent so the opening remained constant. No one ever noticed. Yes the brackets are aluminum. Doug
