fiberglass hood finally in, how to prep?!

[czo79]

Hello all....
I finally got my fiberglass hood from the group buy....and its ok....looks really good until you look close, but I don't really know what is a reasonable expectation with fiberglass. Anyone else got one yet, what do you think? I think for the most part some work with bondo and sanding should take care of it....although some of the transition area between the hoodscoop and the hood looks like it will be tricky to get done evenly. Has anyone else done this work themselves? Or payed a pro to do it? How much $ is reasonable to get it prepped? What about the vents? they need the holes cut out it looks like....
thanks
Micum

Hi Micum.

Glad to see you got your hood. Just a bit about your hood.. I said from the begining that i would include everything to mount your hood, but i also stated that i would recomend that a body shop do the install beacause they will be able to get a perfect fit plus be able to sand and paint your hood.

The hood mold was made by hand by ABE and my self..so i'm sorry if there are minor defects.. but hopefully the refund you recieved should be able to have it installed and i'm sure when it's all said and done it will look spectacular on your car..

Please send pictures I would love to see the finished product.
