have you tired to see if Alex and the guys at Autokits X make a AK hood. My fitment was 100% and they use the stock equipment.

I loved that hood. But I was not aware of anyone making it. Thought it was a one-off.

I had mine for 3 years now , Just sold it, I think AK was the first to make it and then people stated copying it. Not sure , But I know I was only the 2nd G with it 3 years ago when I got it ( the other car was their show car).. I do a lot with them and really love their stuff. I'm installing their CF side skirts on my sedan Saturday morning cant wait!!

Do they have a website with product listings, including that hood? How would I go about finding out?
