Are u kidding me. It won't pass state inspection with no hood. even if u cut it i don't think it would pass. that sucks. have u done one?

we had one at a local shop which was gettin a custom cf hood, but it went to florida to get tuned and really havent seen it again. sucks... but theres a lot of other j series swapped cars around this site... some say it will also throw off the weight balance on older cars badly.
