Default Glass hood?

Has anyone done this upgrade yet? If so, what were your thoughts? Any issues?



I was thinking of maybe getting this and just swapping this and my current one out from time to time to mix it up a little!

Thanks

PS not so sure how it would look with the Cervini C500 kit I have currently!

Yeah, I saw that eBay a month ago and posted it. It is different and for those who are seriously into car shows.

I just don't think these engines are that good looking. Sure for a Ferarri or something. But these Mustang engines are just not that pretty IMO.

I considered it when it was still in the development phase, but as soon as I saw the price I decided against it. That's just too much money. I do think it would show off the whipple quite well at the car shows I go to, but I can't justify the price.

OUCH.... yes I just took a look at the price.... Nearly $2500 for the full hood! It's nice, just not $2500 nice!!

Think I can do a hell of alot more to other things for that kind of money!
