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....

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.
