I thought they were very recently having a sale on them, or maybe not but highlighting how good it looks. Do a search; I don't know if it was in Gen, Tech or Parts but I know I saw it within maybe 5 days ago. Great pics.

It is only $160 more than a similar one with less vents and the ACP is carbon fiber instead of fiberglass.

The Hood we use on the race car has no inner supports. It is very light, but is also very weak.
We Added structure to the inside of our new hood to help strengthen it and create a piece that was suitable for street use and could be closed with out cracking it.

I'm not one to want to change hoods, but I am pretty partial to the one East Coast Corvette sells:
