Excuse my ignorance but what hood is that, and are hood pins used or required, and what about a rain or drip pain?

1) Hood is 100% aluminum and much lighter than OEM SS. I am not sure what the center insert is constructed of as of yet. 2) They will have a smoked/clear insert option in the future, but it is not available as of yet. They are still perfecting it. I currently have their painted version on mine (but will be getting the clear when available). 3) This hood does not require hood pins. It utilizes the OEM latch on the car and has it's own stop already on the hood. 4) This hood also utilizes the OEM hinges. 5) The hood vents are present along front edge of insert, however there is no rain catch pan to divert water. That said, it has been on my car for a few months, in the weather, with no issues as of yet. Word is AA is developing something for this currently for those that want it. 6) Hood fit well right out of the box. I adjusted my latch up a tiny bit, and bump stops down on passenger side and now have a perfect fit. 7) Hood comes primered in a satin black, and the painted insert is Gloss Black. I hope that helps!

Added some black vinyl to tie in the darkened tail lights and 3rd brake light. What do you think? or

Did a test fit of the new American Authority exhaust surrounds for product photos. Great product, however I decided to stick with the MBRP quad tips after it was all said and done.

When like minded people gather, pictures happen.

Well family, it is here that my journal will end. I decided to sell v3nom.ss and move on to other projects. A 2019 Silverado will be my new mode of transportation. It's been fun and I appreciate the friendship and support on the journey.
