Made some upgrades to the Cutlass

I haven't done anything to the Cutlass in a while so, I done some upgrades. I replaced the S hood with a fiberglass 442 one and installed a rear deck spoiler and 442 front grills.

Where did you purchase the hood from? Are you happy with the fit and quality?

That's really sharp! Gives the car "attitude".

Did you have any issues with the chrome trim on the rear?

I don't know where the hood came from, I purchased the hood from someone that never installed it on their car. The hood is fiberglass and the fitment was good. I did had to replace the OEM springs as they were too stiff for the lighter hood.

Thanks, I did get away from the traditional stripe that the factory had but, I like it.

I like the stripes on the hood leading up to the opening.

Do you know the name of the blue you used on your car? Really nice colour.

The color is a 1997 Mitsubishi blue. The painter added a little pearl with minimal flakes. Really pop in the sun, not over the top.
