Default New 4 inch hood on my RS
270$ with 130$ shipping. Needs finish sanding but i love it, it is a bolt on and not bad for the $$$s. What you guys think?

looks nice, how heavy is it? I got my pin-on because it's so much lighter than a bolt on fiberglass one, mine is 13 pounds.

Advertised 45lbs, but i think it might be lighter. I got the pin on and it was flimsey so i refused it and paid the difference to get the bolt on.

I love the old one because it was different and no one had it, but this one has stole my heart due to being bigger and more aggressive looking. I will post when i paint it, hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks man, the gap is good, it was BAD but i got it that close, it is ok. I like it this far, but the gap is not verry big it is just laid back a bit.

It is primer sealer, it has a satinb finish look. The hood is not glossy because it was too cold when i sprayed it, i didnt care, i just wanted it black.
