about 3 weeks a go my uncle ran into my car while it was parked, and long story short his insurance gave me 2K, so i bought a GTS-III hood from tru-fiber, i thought they came with covers for the vents for a DD car, but they didnt
so is it a big problem if those vents are left open, the vents are pretty far away from the intake, and i park my mustang in the garage if that makes any difference

btw the guys at tru-fiber were very helpful and looks like they make a very high quality product, i would def recommond them

i'll post pics up after i get all my parts painted/installed with my new headlights and hood

i have 2 opening in my hood and never cover them. i drive in the rain and have 0 problems.

alright cool bro thanks for the help, btw should i take the hood to a body shop (i have to go get my bumper and fender painted and fixed anyway) or because the hood is fiberglass (i heard they have to get prepped/painted a special way) a custom shop to get it painted and prepped

bring it to a shop that has experience in fiberglass

+1 on the shops that have fiberglass experience. I have the GTS also from Tru-fiber and mine had some small stress cracks that needed taken care of.

ok so ill go get some repairs and new headlights repaired at my dad's friends body shop and then go some where else for the hood
so does your hood rattle at highway speeds, ill prolly get hood pins eventually though just wondering if i NEED them with this hood

I just got my gts III hood and it came with covers for the vents. Does anyone know what the difference is between the gts II and III is?

get everything painted at the same place!!!! and hood pins are a realllly good idea.... the safly latch has been used to many times on my hood.

+1 on the hood pins and get all the paint done at once in a professional, fiberglass experienced shop. Go somewhere that works on Corvettes mainly.
