LG World Challenge or MCM Hood
I'm looking for a heat extraction hood for my 06-C6-Vert with Edelbrock SC. Considering either LG's new Carbon Fiber World Challenge Hood or the Motor City Mold hood for the C6. Both hoods offer heat extraction and improved aerodynamics over OEM.

LG's new Carbon Fiber World Challenge Hood comes bolt-on ready (per my conversations with LG) requiring no additional finish work if you want the clear coat carbon fiber finish. I have not seen or heard of anyone employing the use of this hood. The WC vent area appears to be greater than that offered by the MCM hood but not sure it offers any appreciable improvement in controlling IAT's (heat extraction).
The MCM Hood requires finish work and not certain if offers the same level of heat extraction offered by the WC Hood. However, overall cost of the MCM Hood is quite a bit less than that of the WC Hood.
I like the looks of both hoods. If there is no appreciable performance improvement of one hood over the other, I will go with the MCM Hood.
Any feedback or real world experience with either of these hoods is appreciated!

Let me know if you find any data on IAT reduction. I have been thinking about a hood also. I am going to talk to my body shop when I have a chance and see if they think they can cut and adapt this vent to a regular hood and have it look perfect. Some guys use it on ZR1's with good results. These guys are local to me and would save me a big shipping cost to Canada on a hood if I use something from them.
