Well I really love the way it looks and i have really wanted it since the first time I saw it so insurance is buying it for me. Yes i bought something known for having fitmit issues but its just really cool and different. I guess i might as well tell you what it is. I got a mecham hood. I know all the problems with them, hell i have even advised against them but i'm gonna chance it. I've heard they have gotten better quallity lately so we will see. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

well i dont have it yet and a body shop is putting it on so i am pretty sure they will get it to fit alright. As for hood pins i will see how it does first. The last hood i had was fiberglass and never had a problem up to 115mph so we will see if i get any flutter first.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhard

yeah it is expensive but insurance gave me a lot more for my hood so i could afford that one. I don't want to do hood pins if i dont have to but at the slightest incling of flutter they are going on. Thanks for the possitive remarks, i'm feeling better about the purchase now.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhard

It shoudl be fine if you get the latch to latdh right and adjust the hood bumpstops so it keeps it nice and tight.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>

thats what i have heard, I'll deffinately double check it. The guy putting this one on is the same guy that did it last time. Also he is reajusting all the gaps anyway since it was in an accident so im hoping nothing is too out of wack anyway.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhard

One of my friends has a real Mecham T/A. It's beautiful and you will love the hood. Only thing I don't like about it is his rear spoiler pools more than our stock ones do, and his stripes are fading off of it (on the spoiler).2000 M5 Pewter Firebird [Monsoon stereo]<br /><a href=\"http://www.centerlinewheels.com/sub_wheel.php?mw_id=2\" target=\"_blank\">16\" Centerline Galaxy Wheels</a> . <a href=\"http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/\" target=\"_blank\">Headlight fix</a> .

Dont worry about that I'll take plenty of pics. I might as well go ahead and night shade the brake lights while I'm at it. All i want to get on the car now are the fixed headlights and a gfx kit (w68 or ww). I'm pretty stoked about this hood though, I cant wait to get the car back.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhard
