3000 miles on my '06 - pics in my garage

This is my expression of self. I can't stand to have my car look just like everybody elses (I really hated the fact that even 6 cylinder rental cars had the same tailights as me ) so I had to do something. Oh yeah ... I also have the Hot Wheels wide body kit in my paintshop as we speak. The pics are in my garage.

Wow, that's some kind of hood! :-o Haven't seen one that tall on a 05+ yet. And yeah the tails aren't my cup of tea but they certainly are different.

Not my style, but excellent quality work. How the heck do you see over that hood?

The front end slopes enough that you don't even notice the hood from inside while driving. My wife doesn't even complain (she drives it every day).
The funny thing is that everybody told me that 315's wouldn't work, but I don't have any problems at all.

Added the JLT cai and the SCT with a custom 93 octane tune .... WOW what a difference. They even programed it for my 315/35 r 20's. Speedo's right and the car even gets better gas milage by about 2 mpg. He told me that on his dyno (a mustang dyno) he consistantly see's 38 HP and 38 TQ, I'm a believer now.

When the hood first came in I thought OMG! there is noway my wife will be able to see! When I put it on and sat behind the wheel the view was almost unaffected. The real test was my wife and so far no complaints (she uses it for a daily driver).

Is it true that the hood can't be raised fully or it hits the windshield?

No it doesn't hit the windshield. It works perfectly. Cervini's has the absolute best finished products I have ever used, and I have literally painted and installed 100's of hoods and pieces of ground effects from different companies.

Not even close! I can raise it all the way up with no trouble at all. Everyone at first thinks it must block your view, but I let them sit in it and they see that there is no problem.

Hey rahp, how about a few pics looking out the windshield to show us how the hood does look from your driving point of view?

That hood is crazy. I have those same Weld wheels on my Mustang. Did you have the same problem with those *ssh*les that I did? Had to wait months for spacers to get the rear ones to clear the brakes because they cocked them up. Still, I love the fact you can clean the whole wheel rim, inside and out, without taking the wheeels off.

Nice! Me and my Mexican wife love rice too. So what plans do you have to go under that funny car hood? You can't have a slow Hot Wheels now.
