Vents for heat extraction was my main goal and the carbon look didn't go with my design so I opted for FRP instead. Weight was about the same as the Seibon carbon for half the price....

Nope. This is part of the Extreme Dimensions Amuse kit I got last year.

It's called the JP-R hood. You can get it in carbon as well I believe. Heat extraction is incredible and coupled with the Amuse wide front bumper opening and a 19 row oil cooler, I can have a hard time reaching operating temps in the spring and fall!
TerribleONE and nomodsjk like this.

Does anyone happen to have Aerocatch hood pins installed on their CF hood and have pictures to share? Every post that supposedly has a picture has a broken link to it. Specifically I am looking for the placement of it.
