Overall, I'm liking these vents especially the middle one. If you guys have Aero Jacket cut them out for you, be prepared for lots of prep work to make it look clean. The tech at the body shop did an excellent job cleaning things up and adding additional reinforcements. It should be further improved once grills are added.

I wouldn't get Aero Jacket to make the hood for me after seeing what they gave you to work with. Your tech did a great job cleaning up their work. Looks great!

It's a one off kind of thing. I ended up spend way too much on this hood after all is said and done. Issues keep piling up... now my DVD HU is dead after picking up the car. No guarantee the shop is going to cover it.

I understand.

Hopefully you get your head unit sorted out ok. Have you checked the fuses?
