billyfe390 said:If you are getting a aftermarket fiberglass hood put it on your car as is and drive around with it on for a couple of weeks. DO NOT HAVE IT PAINTED BEFORE YOU DO THIS most of the horror stories come from people that get a hood that is not fully cured and when it gets on their car in a hot day and shrinks they think they got screwed.

Thanks!

speed545 said:I'm having mine paint very soon. The bodyshop where i'm going to have the job done told me to either leave it on the car or just bring the hood alone. He will remove the hood from the car anyway to avoid to cover the entire car and they prefer working on the hood without beeing on the car.
Matching color is not an issue for me. Car is silver and having the hood ( part of it like the mach one from CDC design ) painted flat black.
Just hope i'm not making a mistake
Saleen201 said:Even if the hood does shink, is it really that noticable? I mean it isnt made of cottonIf it is going to shirk it is going to shink. Getting it painted wont make a difference. I have never heard of a bad Cervini's hood, i think she is alright.

Les Paul said:I rather just bring it in then since I don't trust them to take it of without hacking up something else. Which hood did you get?
:OT:
Does anyone get email notification on subscribed threads or am I the only one?
speed545 said:I prefer to get the hood off myself and just bring it tho the bodyshop. I just dont want to let the car there for them to have fun with it like it happened to me once. Considering that the job will be done by the local GM dealer
they might want to test a real car
I' m keeeping stock hood Les Paul, just the paint job and a aluminium insert in the scoop.
Ho, about e-mail notification, you have to go in yours profile options and uncheck the options witch allow you to receive thoses e-mails.

billyfe390 said:Yeah it is really noticable I will get some pictures of my cervinis 4 inch cowl posted this morning. When the heat from the engine in the summer starts baking the underside of the hood it will shrink and look like a ripples in the top even the best hoods will do this to some extent. Believe me she will be alot happier if she drives it for a while as is when it gets warm.
Mine was baked for a day so doing it for an hour wont do anything besides that if you take it to a good body shop that has someone with experiance they will ask you if you have put it on the car yet most smart shops wont even touch it until it is fully cured.Fallguy said:if you take it to a good shop they will bake it for about an hour or so which will get out the chemicals from the glass. No need to run it on your car if they know what they are doing and prep it properly.
