I like that hood. Do you notice a lot more engine noise or rattles? I've replaced hoods on previous cars and regretted it because of build quality issues.

This hood fit really good needed to shim the hinges a little but all the body lines match up pretty good, the passanger side tip at the windshield does stick up a little but i can live with it. I notice a little more valve train noise when its cold but its fine after it warms up i have headers thru ti,s so thats what im hearing as i row thru the gears

It was a craigslist find the hood was never on a car before mine it was still all carbon fiber with no primer or paint on it.
I have got a $1000.00 into it including the paint and i still need to get the stripes made
