watch out for the predator hoods...

[siueclipse]

I bought a predator hood.. Well its a great hood, in great shape, however my ECU sits a tad bit too high for it to fit and you can't move your ecu mounting.

Your ECU??

Mines inside the car. Maybe it's an NT thing.

 

[guedo512]

mines in the engine bay to. its near the driver side wheel well.

John, it is a 420A thing.

I know exactly where it is.

yeah it sucks. i have thought about cutting the brackets that hold it up that high and make something new for it, but i dont like modifying things like that.

 

[InFlames]

The ECU is really in the engine bay on the 420a? I learn something new everyday!!!

 

[siueclipse]

yup

So what your saying is.....that a hood that is made for the NT Eclipse (420A)...doesnt even fit the car?? someone explain this to me please

 

[98RedGs]

thats what he is saying because the predator hood on the drivers side on the underside of it is to low and clips the top of the ecu...

yah its definately a 420a thing...

There are a couple of NT guys over at 2GNT who have that hood without any probs with fitment. Where did you get it from and is it the aerogear brand hood??

I dont think its a true aerogear hood but the seller says he hasn't had any problems with this hood.
