Pic Request: ACP Air Extractor Hood
Looking for pics of this hood, preferably the non-maggie version. This is the ACP hood with the MCM style center and louvers on each side.
Saw this on a car at ECS and fell in love!
Thanks!

Thanks, but I actually ran across some already researching this hood, looks great! Did you get fiberglass or carbon? I'm debating doing the center section cleared carbon like the MCM, but not sure if that along with a 10lbs savings is worth $400. Fitment was good?

Fitment of the MCM is better, I got the glass one used and it was a good deal. If mine was a true race car every pound would count, it is only a street car, oh the vents do extract quite a bit of heat

I have the ACP hood in carbonfiber. When i got mine the underside of the hood was just raw cf, no finish at all. I wanted the underside to look as good as the top. It took a lot of time & money to finish the underside.

I don't have a ton of money I want to put into this, so as much as I'd like the carbon center, maybe the fiberglass is the way to go. hmmmm

This is excatly what I ordered and should be pickinig up in a week or so. I'll email you some pics once I pic it up. I met up with Kerry and test fit the hood to my car and I think the fitment is going to be amazing!!
Give Kerry a call to discuss the clear center section that you would like to do, if you aren't interested in the 5 pound saving you will get with the full carbon hood then he'll have an option you'll probably be interested in.

Yes it was there having some cooling work done to it. Doug made my a custom radiator and other things to help me stay cooler on the track in the summer. Take a look at the forced induction section, there is a thread about force induction on the track if you want to see what was done
