New Paint & Cowl Hood

[MarauderTJA]

Now that I finally know how to post some pictures (thanks Jarod & Mary), a few of you knew that I bought the ClassGlass hood for my car. Before I left on this road trip it was completed and put it in the garage. I love how it came out. I used a slate gray metalic for the graphics (now painted Rich), on the cowl hood, spoiler and rear deck. Here are some of the pictures.

ClassGlass recommended hood pins. Got a custom set of billet pins.

Did a little different slant on the rear lights, painted in body color.

Tom, every time I see your car it looks better and better. When I told you that I wanted to buy your Marauder if you ever sold it - and you told me "go get your own, I ain't selling it", I know how serious you are now.

Cool! Hey, got my SIC MERC plate in too:D You gave me the idea bud. AT a car show our plates would get some attention;)

[FastMerc]

Now that is a different look I like it way to go!

[Blackmobile]

Looks awesome,

Way to go Tom!

[DOOM]

Whoa! Now thats BADASS!!! :bows: . EXCELLENT job. Please post up more pics. I really like the tail lights.

[ctrlraven]

Looks great but one question does the paint block any of the tail lamp lighting during the day when braking?

[John Nero]

the car looks great-looks better then mine-i better j.j. to redo mine

[Mills Marauder]

tom your car looks really good, we are going to have to have a special section (at the car shows) for all these one off paint jobs. congrats looks really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:beer::bee r::beer:

[ImpalaSlayer]

looks good man. i was thinking of doing the same with the tail lights but wasnt sure howd they would look. i think they only look good because they kind of match the checkard on the side of your car

[Hacklemerc]

I way the hood scoop was done looks really cool too.

[Cobra25]

I came out great Tom. What a Head Turner !

No, you can still see the directionals and brake lights fine. It is painted over the reflective section.

Contact them: http://www.classglassperformance.com hood costs $450.00 plus shipping (around $200.) Not just a hood scoop.

Tom- the hood looks great!!!!! Have you noticed any benefits from a performance stand point?

Haven't raced the car since NMRA event in March. I won't race her again until SSHS8 this November. I do not expect any performance gains from the car due to the hood. But I have seen lower engine temps in the bay with the heat extraction vents.

[MarauderTJA]

Someone asked me for a larger photo of the hood vents.

Yep, he is the guy. Wait to see it in person. He did an awesome job. He treated the car like it was his (I joked with him that he would suffer if he messed it up:D.) He is one of my best friends in Florida and we hang out when I'm home. I'll let him know your kudo.....

[teamrope]

Nice. :coolman:
