Thanks, I'm very happy with the results.
I know they (Boyce Body Werks) painted several test patches and consulted with the paint supplier before they got it the way they wanted.
I hope I never need body/paint work again but if I do I know who to call.

Any data to support the heat extraction effectiveness of this hood? Love the stock hood and will only change if there is an appreciable gain in heat extraction over the stock hood (06 C6 Vert with Edelbrock SC).

I suggest that you contact Phil Toyne to answer your question.

Note that there is another benefit from these (and similar) hoods: they reduce drag and lift, because air that enters the engine bay can escape more easily.

Looks like MCM has updated their website.

I'm with you. Heat/temp differences would be a simple enough number, particularly since the central point of this type of hood is generally for heat extraction.
Manufacturer, how about posting up some numbers for all of us? The TTD two posts above is something pretty different.
Thanks.

I ordered mine directly from MCM, last summer. Like said, contact Phil: phil@motorcitymold.com.
That's Reflect-A-Gold under the hood.

Mid America Motorworks.
These are not Euro tail lights, however. In Europe, amber is legally required for the turn signals.
Not too long ago I have ordered new ones, via http://www.radioflyerinnovations.com/. I have not installed those yet, but that will happen soon.
Although they appear visually exactly the same, they have amber LEDs for the turn signals.

I'm seriously considering the MCM hood, but wonder if the extra frontal downforce (if any) created will be offset enough by the downforce from the small factory GS/Z06 rear spoiler? I don't want to install a full width rear spoiler either.
And on a silver '12 GS...would you guys recommend the clear carbon fibre center panel (soo tempting), or keep it all silver?
