    sierra grabber you have a grabber hood do you not.. I have a regular mav hood but with a comet gt scoop on it.. I want the basic same idea as a grabber hood ,only with a comet gt scoop.. I have seen some cars on this board with the same scoop but blacked out around the scoop.. it will be greatly appreiciated with your measurements thank you ..RON

    yeah my grabber hood doesnt have that same raised center. i would have it about an inch back from the flat part of the top of that center ridge and all the way back to about the same distance from the back of the hood near end of the hood. ill give you what i have though by the end of the weekend.(y)

    sorry for the delay. im showing 31/2 " from back of hood to back of stripe. dont know if the rest of the measurements will really help you since you have a standard hood. let me know though
