why are you suposded to leave it on for a few days before you paint it?loyalty said:hey Y2K, did you have any problems with the mounting and fit of that hood? I know you're suposed to leave a 'glass hood on for a few days before you painted it, but other than that, any special procedure?
I really like the cervinis hood. Ive seen that one before, I was just looking for a little cheaper. Stylinconcepts.com has a 2" cowl hood that Im seriously thinking of. Its only $299 and looks really nice.www.cervinis.com
the mounting was simple..the fit is great, except there is a bit more gap between the hood and the grill/headlights, but i can deal with that....loyalty said:hey Y2K, did you have any problems with the mounting and fit of that hood?

hearing about the troubles with 'glass makes me want to buy a Goodmark steel cowl induction hood rather than 'glass. costs more but less hassle. jusy my $.02y2k xtreme said:the mounting was simple..the fit is great, except there is a bit more gap between the hood and the grill/headlights, but i can deal with that....
as for leaving a 'glass hood primed for a while before painting, YES, do that....the heat from the engine, will get to the 'glass, and will do bad things to the 'glass...
i actually bought this from a guy i know, the glass "exploded" in a few spots, leaving small craters here and there. those were easily ground down, and filled.
thanks man..i love the way it blends in too....loyalty said:did you leave the spring on the hood latch? I've heard that you don't use that for 'glass hoods. At any rate, that hood looks good on your X...almost like it was made to compliment the body cladding
if done properly, it's not bad at all...just gotta be paitientMightyMouseJ5 said:
