Ehhh, not feeling it - too busy and too many weird dips and curves that distract from the otherwise smooth flow of the rest of the car's body lines. But hey, whatever makes you happy is what makes it all worth it...!

Thanks! Better than the dull boring stock hood that comes on the car!

I especially like the vent

Can that be expected to cool the underhood temps like IAT, oil, and coolant?

Holy moly! Now that is a hood bulge! Kind of have to change the rest of the car up a little to blend better, such as the front and side splitters, more agressive wheels, etc. Great job!

Yes the vented hood is helping with lowering the engine bay temps. It also is my vent to purge the nitrous system on the car.

Did you purchase this direct or through a vendor? I'm thinking of grabbing one to match all the local cool kids.

I really like my dull boring stock hood........really I do. Only other I like is a normal 2.5 to 3" cowl induction type.

Is the whole hood CF? If not, how'd they get the CF weave in the bulge?

Personally, I prefer something a little more understated, maybe with a smaller hood bulge. But I can tell a lot of effort was put into this and it is a quality job. I can appreciate that. Congrats.

Oh, and when they painted the hood. Did they need the whole car to do the blending or did you just drop off the hood and installed it on the car separately?

Whole hood is carbon and they just leave the exposed areas unpainted/cleared.

Okay, cool. Looked like real carbon but had to ask anyway. Seems like a nice piece.

Looks good Mike. I like how the 427 logo was inlaid in carbon fiber.
