That is a great looking hood! I'd like to have one but just can't justify having to spend a grand on hood. Looks great though

I ordered from Quadratec and honestly is was a mess... I waited for about 11 weeks for it. But now that I have it, it was do worth the wait. I ordered it painted and the color is spot on.

Looks good okay I was about to order it from them did you order it already painted? Did it ship well? (no chips)

I did order it painted and it was very well packaged. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and had foam around it. As for the paint it is perfect and matched the rest of the pain spot on. Lengthy process but worth the wait.

Hey there , I just wanted to ask you how did you reattach the ground wire back to the hood , couldn't get the original off of the old hood and there is no way I can do this unless I drill a hole.
