That is the duraflex option which I'm told is crappy quality? I think it looks decent as well and it's cheap (prolly because it has bad fitment)

Well, I ordered it last week so I will let you all know how it fits. The only other member I know that has it said it fit great, no issues.

Edit: member Mann has the hood....

No. I saw the pic off his car, but I never had the funds to do it, nor do I know of a shop who could do it. Aero Jacket did the mod. I do remember it being your design, which is by far the best.

something about the center vent on the duraflex hood makes me throw up a little, also something about the side vents too, possibly that the side vents have an awkward tapered shape that doesn't match **** on the car, or that there are two small but conspicuous ovals cut into an up-sloped back face of what should be a large cutout.

I think it flows nice with the car. Each to their own I guess.

I know 2theextreme had this hood years ago and had issues, fitment was solid but after a few months the center started to cave downward and hit the strut bar.
Overall he liked it, minus the dip in the middle, he later solid it for a Varis hood.

Good to know. Mann has mentioned that there has been some sagging as well, so maybe I can fab some support in there before I mount it to prevent that from happening. Fitment was reported as solid so, that is good. I am curious to know how effective the venting will be. It looks well placed and subtle enough to do the job yet still look stealthy.

as for Varis.... :yum:

Has anyone seen the Carbon Creations Hot Wheels hood installed on a car in person? I think I have decided to order that one because it looks like the one that will vent the most heat.
