Yeah, mine are sitting in my garage waiting for me to grow the balls to start cutting holes in my hood.

After seeing Eagle's car in person, I REALLY want them now. Just put the blindfold on and start cutting chuck.

The problem is that the cost of a replacement hood is more than the cost of having someone who knows what they're doing put them in.

Yeah I feel that. But my cars going to get cut up and welded on so i think the level of care is a bit less for me

I would say cannot be worse than putting in the SC but that was my car not yours.
If you want I will start cutting for you.

I'm absolutely convinced that only the first cut will be nerve wracking. Once you're committed it's probably a breeze.

I have a spare hood to practice on. If it warms up a little bit maybe I can get EW to help document the install or if it goes terribly wrong, what not to do.

BGTV8 · 12-27-2017, 09:04 PM

Can you tell me the distance from the leading edge of the front of the hood to the rear of the centre vent .. I have an 6 x ITB kit for my car and I suspect there won;t be clearance with the centre vent fitted BUT it would be useful to know
