Yes, some very dirty ones though. I just got done mini tubbing it so it had fiberglass dust all over it. I hosed it down but I did not wash the underside, so don't you clean freaks get mad.

I had the frame painted black but all the carbon clear coated. The black is as smooth as glass and the carbon has the weve texture.

Hers a pic of the scoop

And some fit and finish pix

sorry dial up

Yes BPP I think has sold off most of their proprietary work. Ecklers has a huge fiberglass business and do a nice job with this hood for a reasonable $$$

I wonder if they did this with their headlights as well. I could be in trouble if something goes wrong with them?

Do you know of a hood that looks the closest possible to stock, cause I would like a sleeper, or at least something that is not noticable unless you look twice.

If you have something that might fit this bill can you post pictures.

Well, I'm using the Carvaggio blower hood which can be seen at their site, or on my car, below...

This clears the Magnusen just fine. Another option would be the MSI Blower Hood which is nice if you're interested in 'seeing' the blower...

I'm not sure, sorry. I assume you mean the lighter race versions. Mine is the street version with the clear carbon center. They also have the race version thats lighter and a blower hood for the maggie guys. Bty I'm still itchy from the fiberglass

Now I'm building a cage for it
