After some road testing at about 90 mph , opening & closing the hood 100 times, I even put velcro on the cover with the sticky side up & closed the hood, then opened it & the velcro was still laying on the cover <<< did this about 15 times .... So I think all rubbing issues have been work out. They were touching just enough that you could see it in the satin black finish but it wasn't scratching thru the paint, it was just marking it! Depending on your hood & the way every thing is aligned, 1/4 turn adjust may be needed to the hood studs. My car the Hood close's hard so I readjusted my hood latch & everything works great!
If you are interested in these give me a pm, I'm trying to get these massed produced!


Now here is a before pic![/B]




This is the way they were, done & Installed
Now I am painting them like below!








I was playing around & wanted to see what they looked like with a checker flag & brushed aluminum... I think For now I'm going to keep them like this for the upcoming shows, The last 2 shows the judges overlooked them as being stock.....Now they wont!
They still need to be clearcoated & wet sand ...but I like it, Woohoo for $5.00 dollar customizing!


Marked out & painted!


Masking removed!


Here you can see the brushed aluminum a little better!

 

wow, NICE.

 

looks good man. i would still like to see em color matched thou. just seems like thats to much of a contrast in color there.

 

price maybe?

 

nice, but why do you have a superchips sticker? lol

 

i would have left them satin black, but they look nice. i hope a company takes advantage of making these for us. good work!

 

Like I said above I going to go with checkers to match my paint! The color combonation are endless

They are not shinny black like the last picture I just did that for the photos & to see what it look like. **** in the last 2 days I've sanded them back to metal 3 times playing with colors.

Because maybe it came with my HP Tuners!

Oh they are just like the top picture, come on guys read alittle! I can't wait to actually see it in the sun I just put the last coat on about 20 minutes ago.

I just made the 1st set, I didn't even plan on making more than 1, but I have spoken to a vendor that is ready to make them if the demand is there!

 

very nice craftsmanship.. i think if you painted the top peice of the grill the same color it would look a lil better but looks really nice as is good job..sorry just read your post haha reading>me

 

TY & They are not like that, They are satin like the top picture. I only did that so they would stand out in the picture. I will be having them custom painted to match my car soon.

 

very nice i like them alot.

 

You know I got the metal to do that 2 years ago on a jobsite & got busy, had no time & then last sunday I was cleaning up the garage, found the metal & said what the hell!
Who would of known.....

 

lol none of us read any of it we just looked at pics and assumed.

 

Nice, unique mod!

However, I think they looked MUCH better satin black. They matched the other engine plastic 100% better before you painted them gloss black.

oooh, n/m then!

 

ya know... i would have not painted them to be tht shinny.






















lol i kid those are pretty damn slick.

 

haha theres another one to explain to

 

Satin black looks a LOT better than gloss black...

 

Looks good.

 

Ty I can't believe I waited 2 years to do this....duh doudle Duh..., guys this weekend at the show I will get shots of them in SATIN BLACK ...once I'm setup in the sun! Then I need to call my painter to have him Airbrush them! The actually painting can be anything like trimmed edges in polished aluminum color match the rest, black satin w/gloss edges or polished edges it's endless & trust me when I am finished with them they will be 1 of a kind!

LOL >> Take a look at the rest of the car & you really think that I would not match them!

In the other thread I had going we decided that satin look better also, but for showing the detail of fitment the gloss works much better.


Ty

 

Yea! They look better finished! And they'll look even better when i get/buy a set!

 

Yea I am Really happy considering I wasn't even sure about them in the 1st place. Believe me, we will get these produced I will make them myself & you guys can paint them how ever you want!

 

lol i didnt realize your car was so "graphic".

 

Now you get the picture ay.. did you see the 1s with the eagle on the hood!

 

yea the pic has been painted for me. lol the eagle looks badass.

 

Same guy will be painting these!
