    Derrick can I use my hood bolts or do I need to use the ones supplied with the hood? Wasn't sure if the treads were the same as stock.

    use the ones with the hood!

    DONT use the stock ones you'll strip it! don't cross thead it either... they will go one easy. if it feels hard to get on back it off and start over. i would suggest a bigger washer as well... i can't remember if i sent it with washers or not.

    i can't wait to see it on the car!

    Hey, I just wanted to say great job on that hood! You are an asset to the Maverick community. If I had a flat hood and wanted a grabber hood, its a no brainer. For a little bit more money you have a really trick piece, I would have to get the matching spoiler set too! Unless I were going to paint the hood (letting the carbon fiber show as the grabber stripes as Dodge did with the Challenger concept car. but lets see if they bring that to production though) Again, SUPER job on the hood. Its a real clean, trick looking piece.(y)

    2nd... and now you've got my attention.... How well do these fit. Are the dimension dead-on measurement wise from a regular hood. Have to start getting my pennies together.
