Default Looking into a cowl hood

Saw some pics of an awesome cowl on here a while ago and im looking to buy one very soon. Since the front end is getting repainted might as well ditch my vented hood and go with a nice cowl. A link or number would be nice

Compare Spectre with Extreme Composites: http://extremecomposites.com/

Make sure you consider all factors, like painted/unpainted, materials (I think EC hood is PVC), shipping (this may add $150.00 to price), etc...

Here is mine:

Did not replace the squirters, as real race cars have none, nor this damned sunroof/moonroof crap---JFWY.
Once you get the EC hood you can always justify a meth kit with no more squiters. IMO cutting a hole in the hood, and running the lines are more work than it would be worth. Then again, the V is not my DD, so you may have a greater need. Good luck on the fitment, mine is still not right, not flush, cannot adjust with shims or hinge play, but good enough for me.
