    Is the hood all one piece? The scoop and the insert on a normal sport hood is what I mean.

    yea it looks just like the sport hood with the scoop formed into the carbonfiber .the only thing that i'm just alittle dissapointed with is there's no body line that defines the very front (or outside)of the scoop from the rest of it.dont get me wrong i'm real happy with it i just think that they could have molded in a line.if someone has a quick pic youd see what i mean

    Update on mine. Looks like I'll have the grille and hood tomorrow. I picked up the mirrors today and they match PERFECT. I'm really excited to bolt my new hood and color matched grille on. New problem though. Where do I put this old hood?

    you can unscrew the cover on the hood scoop but all it does is make your engine dirty as hell. so i suggest to just keep it closed.

    Update on mine. Got the hood and grille on. It looks good, but I'm not sure the paint matches exactly. It was getting dark out when I put it on so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to really look and get some pics.

    Alright i might get flamed for posting these same pics in 2 different threads, but I said I'd post some pics of my hood when I got it done. All I'm waiting on is my billet for the hood scoop. I'm actually thinking about painting the grilles black. Any input?
