Reply to "My custom hood vents and how I made em"

Thanks!!! I'm so excited about how nice it came out. I was nervous about cutting into the hood, not having done it before, so it's a big relief that all is well. Glad you all like it.

Not sure about the weight of the hood. This is one of the Wilkinson hoods, very similar to the PIM hoods. It's carbon fiber over fiber glass. A lot lighter than stock, but not as light as a full CF hood would be. Works for me though. Less weight is still good and it feels very solid. Sure looks great.

Fit of the hood is very good. Bolt holes lined up perfectly, etc. Only thing I had to do was make the latch a little shorter. It hit the weatherstripping until I trimmed 1/2" off of it, but that only took a couple seconds with a dremel.

Will try to sell the steel hood. Thought about seeing if any of the vendors wanted to buy it off of me for cheap. It's in perfect shape. I wouldn't mind storing it away, but we'll be moving soon hopefully. I've got a whole bunch of car parts that really need to go now.
