Nice hood. I'd like to design my own, which is easy enough. It's the "making it into reality" part that sucks. I picked up my TC hood  today and may just do something a little different with it. We'll see.......or not.

Vinnie, if you can dream it I can make it a reality. I combined an S10 hood with a 2500 HD Silverado Hood. Was a sweet looking cowl hood. Nothing a cutoff wheel, some metal, and some adhesive can't help.

I'd like to see a pic of it if you have one. I have a few ideas, but probably will stop short of following through and just leave this hood alone....except for paint. I had thought about a cowl hood like above, but don't want to draw that kind of attention to the car. I want the Sport to be mildly understated.

The only Pic I have is of half of the cowl sitting on the hood before I bonded them together. It was a significant step but looked sweet.

Was it a great fit, or did any mods have to be done for proper fitment? How's the overall quality?

It Wasn't  a great fit but once i got all the gaps even i drilled all the holes for the hood pins  After that it looked pretty good except that it sagged in the middle so i got some of those little hood bumpers that are usually on there and moved them to the center and adjusted them all the way out and it looked good after that.
