    Got the Carbon Fiber "GRABBER" hood installed!:wow:It is a great fit.(y) I have never bolted on anything aftermarket that fit this well. Great job "MaverickMan". Guys you will be very happy with this hood! My wife is not really in to cars but she walked in the shop to see what I was doing she instantly said WOW when she saw the hood. She was very impressed.:yup:

    Although I'm still not real fond of the Grabber hood, one of the things I really disliked was the bolted in inserts. That hood is definitely a lot smoother looking now that they are an integral part of it. So, what about the hood lip molding?

    Yes I am putting lip molding on this hood. I have a NOS one that I bought for the Grabber that I am currently restoring. The Lip on the yellow hood was not very nice so I didn't want to put it on this hood. I may use the NOS one & try to pick up another for the resto.

    Not anytime soon. This car could definitely use a paint job in the future but I have a few in line ahead of it. :yup:

    Great looking hood! If I could sell my original for enough I would like to get one. Any body want to buy a metal grabber hood?:D Maybe then I could be first to paint a CF grabber hood.(y)

    PS That is a beautiful setting you there.
