Hood is already pre-cut with the vents in it if that is what you are asking, if anyone is looking for OEM CF hood you can PM me or Red6 on that, but this GB is for the Vented CF or FRP Hood

Looks like the Stillen Cowl would not fit on this because the vents are too close to the center.

How's the fitment? Uses factory brackets/latch?

The hood uses the OEM factory latch and brackets.

No pics of them yet, they go under the hood to block off some of the vent, you would hardly see it, its there to stop the water for when it rains really hard :)

Will it have a grill of some sort on the vent openings like some of the other aftermarket hoods or is this something we install ourselves? Sorry, this would be my very first aftermarket hood.

How long will this Group Buy last?? One of those pictures of kelvar looks like solid black, is that true?? If so, is it more black than the Carbon Fiber hood??

GB will last for a little, more depends on the demand, more people n faster we get them the better and I will than see about getting a couple extra made at the low GB price if we get enough response to this
