yeah just be careful what company you buiy from and how much skelotan they use to support the hood because remember you are doing this to shed some pounds not come out even or save like just 3 pounds

I've seen more than 1 awful VIS hood.
It's a hit or miss business...

I fiberimages SiR style hood and its great. Gives me plenty of engine room and it fits great.

&lt;----I have my old hood lying around that I could possibly sell. Its red and has maybe a slight ding. I sanded the clear coat off and had started to prep it for paint, but stopped b/c i got the CF for a good deal.
