Does it use the OE hood hinge system?
More importantly, howTF will I paint the vents if they're molded in?

Tape off around the vents??
I'd also like to see a pic of the hood on a Viper. I'll even volunteer my car. Hell, I'll pay for shipping.

Since this isn't a vendor review, I moved the thread to the RT10/GTS section.
That is a nice looking hood fo sho. I'd sport that on my car.

Ok someone needs to pony up a photo of that installed on a red car. That would be some interesting photos with all white hood vents! Photoshop!

Dave maybe you paint the "speaker grilles" on the hood white instead.

Can a ebay auction be posted on this forum? If so there is a Viper on ebay that has this hood. It's that crazy 1998 White GTS. Has some good pictures of the hood...

That's Elite's hood I thinks. Dunno if it's that same or not.

Actually there are 2 ebay auctions that have that one, one being a red car distastefully modded.

In this case, yes an Ebay link is fine...it's for purposes of discussion and not an attempt at free advertising, which is what we frown upon. I'd like to see it.

Curious why with the vendors name mentioned in the thread title why that vendor has not chimed in.
Or is that against the puckered up tighter than bat snot vendor posting rules.

Personally I like the hood. If it wasn't for my stripes I would be interested but it would be a nightmare to have stripes painted on it and I know I would not like it afterwards.

The plug wires are a tad too close to the headers for my comfort. Also, the gap between the front tires and the fascia makes the front end look funny, like it's unbalanced or something, in a "kit car" kinda way. Not that I'm being picky or anything.
I'm guessing it was painted due to the accident. Of course, the accident is never mentioned by the seller.

I saved some pics of this car when it was on ebay the first time.
I kind of like the look of it. Its unique.
I though this was the diamondback hood before. But they are different.
compare treesnake's diamondback
to the ebay car's hood
the diamondback is much more curvy and lumpy than stock. The partsrack/henn hood is very flat-looking.

That interior in my opinion is Gaudy with a capital "G". What is the "stuff" around the speedo? It almost looks like rust.

It will but the stripes would not turn out right I believe. Wonder if they would do an diamondback hood with no center vents?
