I like it. Should have done body color or painted it to match the body

@@xk82 probably be easier to fix the wavy-ness on a paintable finish

It will look so much better after paint matched I think

Nice mod. Looks good. Waiting for a reliable twin turbo kit to ZR1 a Z06. The sea wolf grey did look good with the hood.

@@thereissomecoolstuff is be scared on any turbo kit for the Z06. I feel like a supercharged E-Ray would be the best higher HP reliable c8 build

@@JumpSquadAuto Why? E85 and low boost would do wonders on the z06.

Looks great like you said right from the manufacturer is the best way.A light polish and PPF you are all set 👊🏼

The new hoods look awesome but all you have to do is underneath the hood line it with dynamite and it’ll sound a lot better when you’re open😊

Its unreal and turns up the volume. Wrap the roof and pillars in that NEW carbon fiber wrap to complete the theme.

thanks for the honest review. Many over charge for a hood and take the enjoyment away, but at that price not bad. Did you get a chance to drive the E-ray? One thing that beats sound is TQ and the E-ray has tons of it. Mine is still sitting at 3000 status. I dont know wtf GM is doing over there. 😪😪

@JumpSquadAuto Ай бұрын

the eray roll out has been abysmal. I did drive the eray and it is a fantastic machine. The steering is a bit weird and you can tell the diff is "e" and not solid. The TQ steer is felt when you mash it but in a good way. Great car all around.

@@JumpSquadAuto agreed. I have been on list for way over 3 years knowing this was the car I wanted. GM fu'bard it since it came out. Broke their own starting price and has been raping everyone they can. Slow roll out for a year and even now they dont make as many and there has been people on lists waiting. I literally got called when they stop making the yellow. So I could not order the old or new yellow. Other options I could go without but not the main color. So now I lost more time and got a $2K price increase for it.. lol talk about crap timing.

@@joem7755 That stinks. Ive been hit with that on every Corvette one way or the other so feel your pain. The new yellow is worth it tho. Looks awesome. I wanted to go back to yellow but had to settle with blue cause of the same constraints on that last order cycle. Stinks cause I am seeing Z06s and erays for 7k-10k below MSRP pretty local so I probably would have benefitted from waiting. If I can't get a ZR1 easily and with a pleasant experience....this will likely be my last corvette. Just dont enjoy being rail roaded by GM every time lol

That looks amazing. I think I personally would prefer it painted to match, but this looks good. You definitely need the CF on the splitter. I wouldn't be worried about the imperfections. When I looked at some C8's in person, I saw a lot of glaring imperfections in the factory finish as well. Lol, these imperfections will make it look like it came with the car and wasn't a perfect aftermarket bolt on! =]

Haha it is a factory quality hood lol. Well played. Thanks for watching

@michaelcoffman9491 Ай бұрын

Looks great. How do you get water out?

@JumpSquadAuto Ай бұрын

It drains down and out the factory drain hole. The gap for the factory hood drains through two small holes. this channels the water from the center of the hood into those holes.

@@Azuluza-z9s there are drain points in the bumper for the water that enters the hood gap. This routes the water into those drain holes

@@JumpSquadAuto So in the ZR1 replica vent (middle one)? if so that be a good talking point for a future video, thanks for the prompt response. Considering this hood.

@JumpSquadAuto Ай бұрын

@@Azuluza-z9s Just be mindful the quality is not perfect. Looks great from 15 feet away but it definitely is wavy in that middle section. Definite deal breaker for many. The center replica vent does route water out through the factory bumper drain points. Ive left the car outside through multiple rainy days and one heavy heavy rain storm and its been fine.

I just got this hood and I’m sending it straight back. Too wavey, trash under clear coat.. the floor under the mesh has flat and gloss sheen imperfections. No way I’m putting this on my car.

@JumpSquadAuto Ай бұрын

@@2020matrix8 the clear coat cleans up fine with polish and a quick ceramic coating. The wavy ness in that middle portion isn't great. Of the three we got two were acceptable and one was very bad. Mines just enough where it's acceptable.
