Given I also have a 7AT and not a manual, it'd actually be less expensive for me to just "upgrade" to a Q60RS and transfer my wheel, brake and suspension package over to it, add a few choice exhaust components and call it a day. Or wait two+ years for the new Z.

But I do look forward to the first G slapping this kit on. I'm just not willing to drive around with a half-assed hood after spending north of 10K on this kit and transmission upgrades. No compromise.

But I absolutely think this is a killer idea and cannot wait to see a few customer cars rocking this kit.
If someone has the money to go this route, they'll massage a budget for a hood modification or purchase the RJM solution if they come out with it. One thing I've noticed about this Z demographic is that we do our best to mod into completion. In my opinion, if you get any forced induction kit you'll be one of the rare owners that doesn't value stance/wheels/poor drive-ability over performance.
