Most Def.! I am also getting them to cut out the induction scoop for more air flow and heat escape!

Anyone who has owned the hood, how many of you have the front air dam cut out?

Also Im going to try and get VFN to send me an extra grill and custom some kind of closed off grill for the scoop, that way if I do get caught in the rain I can keep it out of the engine bay!

Anyone else done this? Obviously staying out of the rain is ultimatly the best but just wondering.

That hood looks awesome, but don't paint the scoop black.

Im not sure yet! We may run stripes just down the sides...its going to sit tall enough that it should look pretty good. Kinda in the same way that the Dick Harrell Editions do except with the SS hood instead of the cowl hood.

What are some of you guys opinions on paint schemes:

1.) Paint all one color, same as car
2.) Paint entire scoop diff. color than car - Black is my accent color Im going to use.
3.) Stipes down the side - Black
4.) Other - Please specify!
