The hood is one of the original Halltech carbon fiber hoods called the stinger. I think another company has started production of a fiberglass modeled the same way as the Halltech hoods are no longer made. When I first noticed this hood on a vette (Nick Yosken's), I was hooked.

Everything that I had before has been sold about 2 yrs ago.

Def a ton of plumbing. Roughly 4 things in the engine bay have either been removed or relocated.

We had a good graph up until it started spinning on the dyno which was ~680RWHP and 690RWTQ.

Thanks again for all the compliments guys.

LoL...I don't know. I guess I should make a note.....all old stuff has already been sold.

Brabus....the APS TT just came out after I got mine installed. I think I would of went that route if I didn't buy this kit.

Thanks again for the compliments guys!

They are iForged Flux. 18x10 in front 19x12 or 13 in rear....I didn't measure.

I have been getting mixed reviews on them. Everyone has CCW's and these are different, but I love them.
