What are you going to put under it? Or do you just like it for the look?

Getting it just for the look is cool... I just got the Lingenfelter twin-turbo hood for the look (pics forthcoming...)

I'm not sure if I like the hood. It didn't strike me as one of those "have to have it".

I'm taking R&R leave right now, and I wouldn't have a yellow any car even if you gave it to me.

That's the one that I want as well, although this hood is good looking too.

There is a tray that collects the water and drains it so that it doesn't get all over your engine. The tray can be removed to improve airflow to the engine when at the track.

I like the gills/vents... different than the typical bulged look of every other hood out there.

Looks like a Viper hood transplanted onto a c6 IMO... not that it's a bad thing, but it's what came to mind when I first saw the pics.
