Given I also have a 7AT and not a manual, it'd actually be less expensive for me to just "upgrade" to a Q60RS and transfer my wheel, brake and suspension package over to it, add a few choice exhaust components and call it a day. Or wait two+ years for the new Z.
But I do look forward to the first G slapping this kit on. I'm just not willing to drive around with a half-assed hood after spending north of 10K on this kit and transmission upgrades. No compromise.
But I absolutely think this is a killer idea and cannot wait to see a few customer cars rocking this kit.

100% agree. And I didn't mean for my post to sound as snarky as it does when i reread it. I was going to see about picking up a spare hood from a wreaked G and see what might be doable. And by "see" I mean have someone with artist skill and bodywork experience do it for me. I also do not want a half-assed hood, and sadly think most the offered hoods for are cars look like crap still. It's going to be a pain to find a design I think I can live with for the extra that will need to be spent.
