hood looks like the bastard child of a seibon GT and a TS hood lol

side skirts look good. i think it'd work for those who went for the CF rear bumper cover. add the side skirts + TS lip and you'd get an awesome carbon fiber 'ground effect'

What's ironic is that the Seibon design replicates an old Top Secret hood, hence the TS-style part name for the hood.

This being Top Secret, I wouldn't doubt that it would be dry carbon. Keep in mind that the pricing includes quality work from a reputable and proven manufacturer, and includes the cost of importation into the US.

Seriously, I would have bought the hood but for $2k+ I can have a custom hood made in dry carbon (thanks to my racing hookups)

I wonder how the NACA ducts in this hood work with the vents in the Top Secret engine cover.
