I have the hood on now from Mpd. the same one Rick has. the fit and finish was excellent. The body shop said they had never had a fiber glass hood fit that well from the crate. the finish was excellent also. Hood strut keepers built in. I would recommend these folks for their quality and workmanship. they also make the fender to fender runnin boards also. I am very happy with the hood. Here are some pictures
Did you think to weigh it before mounting? I'll give you $20 for your old junky hood
It weighed 55#s crate and all. So I would say just under 50#. I think the hood will hang around for a while. Looks like it would make a good snow sled, If we got much snow. Then it might be a old junkey hood.
Rebel if I decide to sell it you can have 1st crack at it.
I may have to drive a full mile behind you, down to Decatur so I don't look so bad (stock). Good job, will want more details Saturday.
Yaller Dog, I bet one of those hoods woud look real good in Beanie Flipper Yellow. on yours. I want to see the runnin boards they do after seeing the hood. It did not look like fiberglass tilll you looked at the edges and they were very consistint.

Nice touch
It adds a really nice look to the hood profile. I especially like the way the crest line of the hood splits and flows into the outer line of the scoop plenum.

Thanks for the complements everyone. if you want underside pics or other info go to our site www.mpd1.com that would be one expensive snowsled Bob, when i bought mine it listed for 995.00. most expensive GM hood i have ever bought. I will do a weight comparison next week. I would guess its about 10 lbs lighter than stock.

Hey Bob,
Looks FANATIC
I had found MPD's website before i joined this forum, seeing Rick's car not knowing it was his. Sent it to my body shop to get more details. Do you have to make any alterations to the air box or any place else?
Another question for you. I had the Hornet remote starter/security system installed with remote pager. I asked them to link it up to the roof to remote open, but they did not know how to do it. Any suggestions I can forward to them and doesn't it have to somehow override the brake to work?

The only thing that would improve your cool red SSR would be to paint it YELLOW! The scooped hood is a show stopper!
WHAT???... Have a yellow streak runnin down the back of my SSr???.....I DON"T THINK SO!!
Stock is the red paint any ways and the wheels. The hood must weigh less because now it is hard to get the hood down form the pressure of the lifts pushing back, a very noticable difference.You need a couple more relays to mke the think the brake pedel is pushed. The hood did not need any alterations xcept sanding, primering and painting. There was very little prep other than that.
Here are some pictures from down under. almost did not have enough light this eve.
.....I'm getting wired
BobA that's one good looking hood
on yours. I want to see the runnin boards they do after seeing the hood. It did not look like fiberglass tilll you looked at the edges and they were very consistint.
