Not bad! Not too much of a change from the RK hood.

The last time I talked to them they said they planed to have three hoods, the one in these pictures, which is CF, one just like it w/o the CF, and their orginal that had an opening at the front. I'll see if I can find a picture of it, I saw it a few times but did not like it.

I like that hood a lot better than the current LPE supergharged hood (at least what I can see in the pictures). In a way I wish I hadn't seen it, because the LPE hood, was one of the reasons I had to not spend the money on the supercharger!

Guys, this is not the same hood the LPE offers. It is a NEW release from RK Sport
It is not on the web site yet. Price is $895 and it does not come painted.
The lines are very smooth and does not have that nasty hump like the LPE one.
