I do like the top part a lot! 
Not too sold yet on the FRONT scoop part yet! "BUT" love the color match and how it compliments the Vette tremendously!
Definetely magazine material!
Thanks,Matt

Thanks guys. Pics are not the best but it has been cold and snowy here for awhile. Match was great. Fitment is real good at the bottom but I would like for the cowl part to fit better with the fenders . I moved the fenders in as far as I could so that's about it, not bad . Front part of hood really fit better than the factory hood. This hood is really functional with the vents and front scoop. Maybe to functional for winter driving.

Hey guys, just wondering if this hood cools the engine to much? Once in awhile I will take it out for about a 10 mile drive weather and roads permitting ,no salt or gravel, and after warming up the engine to about 170 degree on cold mornings at about 30 or so at cruising speed the temp will drop down to about 145. Sometimes into the 130's. Would be great in the summer but wonder if the engine gets rid of the condensation running that cold? I leave it run for a few before putting back in garage to get it back up to temp. I could easily block off the front vent for cold driving I guess but I rarely drive it any way. Does it hurt anything?
