Looks great and the fitment appears good and I think it looks very similar to the GTS hood that Trufiber put out and the GTS3 hood I have seems more refined and less lift in the front on each side of the scoops...... was the prep and paint much? thanks

myGT500,
Like I said previously, it was a PIA to prep. There were multiple areas where a simple block and prime wouldn't smooth out the rough spots. It still has a couple of very minor flaws in it, which is why I'm striping the whole power dome to cover those.
Total cost for prep and paint was $650. If I had it to do again, I'd have gone with the TruFiber, or a Carbon Fiber hood.
One thing of note that you mentioned, the hood is very similar to the TruFiber in function, it has the protection boxes underneath to prevent rainwater from getting on your engine, and it has the nostrils ducted to the airbox.
