All you guys with the AAR R/T hood on a Gen 3, can you tell me how they fit?
Were all the edges straight and equal distance from the fenders? Did you
notice a rough edge indicating an injection point (where they inject the
fiberglass media into the mold).
I've seen alot of hoods that had wavy edges and had to be shaved. Also as a
general rule, the resin should be left in the mold for at leat a week to
fully cure, most are not and when finally cure they warp. I called AAR and
asked them and it sounds like a quality hood for the money. They say they
use a factory hood modified with their design to make the mold, so all the
factory reinforcements should be there. And its about 30 lbs lighter.

I am pleased so far with what Ive heard, but I want to know if anyone had
problems with the "fit".

Thanks
Paul
