Yes that is the older version of the Mecham hood. The just-as-shitty newer version was the one I had before I got fed up with the embarrassing cracking, pitmarks, and overall junk status of Mecham. Wait a little bit longer. Rex at ASCD is remolding that pile of garbage that I sent him into something worthy of your money. In the meantime, look at my old hood if you still need convincing...

Rex told me late summer/fall they should have something ready. Yeah hood looks great from far away, but after someone on the road points out the cracks, you kind of get fed up real quick.
