Meh, not a fan. The flat finish and lack of shape to the top of the hood around the vents makes it look cheap, like an OEM hood that was hacked up in somebody's garage. The lack of flaring on the fronts of the vents is going to make it less effective at extraction, which is why I assume you guys designed this hood to begin with...

The hood doesn't look "hacked up" at all. You may not like the styling, which is fine, but the fit and finish looks top-notch.

So, yeah. Go and make one of these in your garage and I'll be happy to agree with you.

What are the chances that we would be able to mount coolers directly in the vent path? Is there enough clearance for that? I'm thinking STI intercooler setup.

bullitt5897 · 08-26-2011, 01:56 PM

Any coolers would be custom mounts...

i would have to look at that. CF hood believe it or not weighs more then the OEM hood. (VIS hood)

That is because they use a carbon fiber wrap around another material to achieve the CF hood. Make a dry carbon hood and you are looking at no more than 5-6lbs for our hood which should shave a few pounds.
