Sorry took so long to reply still trying to get the hang of the new Monte Carlo SS Web site. I was used to the way it was a couple of years ago. Just now figured out where to find out what questions people are having. I have made some mods to the Top Plate Ext. This should take care of the problems and concers for all. New hardware will come with them from now on . The only thing I can not control is the gap or alingment of the customers car so some slight mods to the bottom edge of the hood may have to be made as in the case of 85_SS, there is no way on this item to make a clearance (re-lief) for the hood ,it is made of 22 gage steel and should clear unless your car is tweeked a little. The test cars I used were both very low milage and had never been wrecked or apart and fit great on them. I have sold these to others and have not heard any ill reports.
Thanks for all the posts
