Looks nasty, especially in black with that splitter. Getting caught in the rain would worry me alittle. How does water drain with that sucker???

I was looking at that hood style earlier in the week. I think it looks great and if I ever get a hood I'd get that one. I say go for it and post pics.

Nice looking hood, without being over the top. Subtle and tasteful is always better in my book. Trufiber looks to have some nice products, although I have no personal experience with them. All I have read seems to be favorable though. Be sure to post pics whatever hood you end up with.

true fiber is very good quality, only damage you see from the hammer is spider cracks in the gel coating. you'll be removing that to paint it anyway. it is deff one of the nicest hoods out there. the heat extraction is a nice benefit, but is style your main goal or performance? if i had to stay below 500 in price id get the Mach 1.

let in some cool air while your at it.
as it is, im ordering the GTS-4 in about a month.

Sweet hood! But if I was going to get an aftermarket hood, I would go for the cirvinis 67 styled one.
