look nice. I just hope all after market hood give the hood some room because most likely, it will hit the after market strut bar or you have some plenum spacer.

damn, my question is... our hoods are already aluminum, how much more can a cf hood take off? 5-10 lbs? besides being a cosmetic upgrade, isnt it not much of a weight savings anyway? excuse the noobness if hugely mistaken.

looks nice, but what I don't like about it is if you are NA without a CAI or are running a supercharger where the intake is right behind the air duct, seems like a lot of air would escape outward before it got sucked in.

Other hoods have the vents further back right over the header area, which really is where you want them
