I have the polished Xtreme Motorsports Mallet wheels on mine, but have had my eye on the CCW 505 for a while now and am thinking about switching.

they arent bad to clean as long as you keep up on them. i use a jewlery cloth to buff fine scrathes away on them between polishing them. mothers billet polish works pretty good on them!

Thanks for the compliments, I appreciate it. The hood was originally made by Breathless Performance but is now made and sold by Ecklers. Its not very expensive, only about $800 and the fit and finish was excellent. It uses the plastic inner liner under the hood and is fiberglass on top. It is a "heat extractor" style hood but is not made to fit a Magnuson or anything like that.

I dont want to steal the focus of this thread so I wont post any more pics here but here is a link where I posted about 20 shots of the hood inside and out.
