Yep, thanks!!

I'm consider the same hood. It is full carbon accept the hood latch parts.

I also like the MTI hood but no longer see it listed on their site and not sure if it is full carbo. It is the same as the seibon which is carbon over lay.

So I pulled out the fender liners and the weatherstrip on the hood and I can definitely tell a difference. Car still blows fairly hot air but today the temps where in the 90s and humid. Cranked the A/C up and she ran great. Just moving down the road a few blocks at 45mph knocks 10 degrees off the temps.

I did wrap the ECU connector with some extra black leather I had laying around. Just something to keep it from getting wet and not look odd or stand out too much.

I'm pretty happy... plus I can hear the procharger more as well.
