I have yet to see an installed picture of this hood. I am curious about this as well.

This is the only one I've seen but it looks like it is after the shroud/

That is the GTR style hood as far as I can tell - not the one we are talking about.

It does look like it might have GTR vents on the side but the low dipping center doesn't look anything like the GTR.

Those side vents is what makes it the 'GTR Style Hood' for the Z.

It's the OEM hood profile with the GTR vents (also, it's worthless for cooling).

Yeah, those NACA ducts are just for looks as far as I can tell. For an off-the-shelf hood, it looks like it's got to be the Seibon one Takjak posted.

It's not worthless, but there are better ways of cooling
