i dont know where in socal you are, but for me its local so i picked it up myself. their warehouse is in fullerton. so if you have a truck that saves money for shipping. as for cost for prep and paint, mine was 450 for prep and paint alone, and my hood was 450, so in total for mine i spent 900.

Most of the hail was pea size, but there were a few golf *****. I got off easy, no other damage. The new Roush is on. The black and silver look is gone. All Silver. I need a new sig pic.

Surprised I'm saying this but looks good. Is the scoop on correctly? The side shot you can see light through the bottom.

Yea this is the only complaint. And a few reviews at American muscle mention this too. The front corners don't lay flush. Maybe I could use some kind of glue or epoxy but not sure what would be good. Any ideas?

Maybe you can run some 3m tape along the edges. Might help some.

My black Roush scoop had that same gap. Satin Silver one doesn't.

Might be able to do that. It would need to be a pretty thin piece not to show.

yeah, after looking further into the company, i realized they are somewhat local to me so picking up in person is not a problem. painting the damn thing is another ball game. i'd love to see some pics of the underside of the hood.
