Hood

L-88 Hood

The hood arrived from Ecklers in a week flat. I've always been impressed with Ecklers. Almost everything is in stock, and they ship fast. I order my Ecklers items through Gary Gruhala and get a 10%-15% discount that way.

Ecklers makes these hoods themselves and they do a good job. I have seen some aftermarket hoods that are very flimsy. The Ecklers hood feels as solid as the stock one.

This is the fresh air chamber, and how it will fit in the hood:

And here it is installed on the car:

Fit was truly excellent. The only thing I had to do was lower the hinges, as the front edge of the hood was too high. This was an issue with the stock hood as well, but not quite as much. After I lowered the hinges everything lined up.
