If I do the Hot Wheels hood I will do it in CF.

All I'm saying is, for this price, I probably have to have one, even tho it weighs more than stock.

By the time you make it fit right, its probably not much cheaper than the alternatives.

Well, the other people in here that have it say the fitment was spot on.

Any aftermarket hood needs fitting, so I don't really see the difference.

Also, I may just drill holes, mount the bitch and go, because racecar.

I plan on painting mine Black Rose and gloss Black for the centre section. Leaving the vents body colour (Black Rose). Should keep the subtle lines of the vents from 'popping' too much.

That is a great price for the hood. And yes, if it fails in a few years, I can afford to replace it later with a different hood etc.

Fitment has been reported as good to perfect from all known users. Quality of construction might be lower due to reports of sagging, but that can be remedied too.

That's the correct attitude for this hood....

Just added the middle vents for more relief. Nothing special. But function over form for a DIY. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...ps896jypcx.jpg

No that's the stock hood with the carbon signal hood vent inserts molded in.

I have seen so many different hoods with the side vents...
