just do us a favor and align the hood better than whoever did that saleen... it looks so bad with the gap on the driver side.

Fiberglass= Stress cracks.

They also made it more permanent with the hood locks

I like carbon fiber but thats becauseI saw a few hoods a while back that were MUCH different than the honda hoods. The hoodsI saw had a colored fiber so there was a black a green and a red. Looks so much better than the standard ricer hood.Might have been the coating on top but either way it looked great.
