Those of you that missed out on the first group buy opportunity, including myself, why don't we just see if they'll do it again?
Seems the first one went off without a hitch. Just not enough time to scrape together a few bucks to get in on it.
Anyone? I've seen 3-4 of you wanting to do it.

My advice to anyone getting into it.
1) Make sure the you check the hood when it comes before you sign off on it.
2) If you go vented like me or denali make sure you have the time and patience to do it cause mounting those vents properly and in a clean manner takes for f'n ever! (they have to be shaved down to fit, attached and then all the sides filled/sanded)many hours spent here
3)The water runners provided to go under the vent in the hood weren't even from this hood
Don't know if Denalixtc ever figured out what the helz to do w them?
4) Assume you will be spending double what you pay for your hood with shipping/prep and paint. 1200 for ventless and you are looking at 1500 easily for the vented.
5) All said and done the hood looks banging and is worth every penny...no doubt about it being the best visual investment.
DO IT!!!!

Where does the water go on the vented hood? I just had mine installed and don't see where the water is supposed to drain. Pics of the underside of your hoods would be helpful.

Bro I had it installed without the provided water runners cause they are not even from this hood. You wont be able to fit the provided ones nomater which darn way you flip them. Dont know why extreme comp even bothered to send some bs thats not even for this hood. It seems the vents are located above about the strut tower areas. I just let it run in there to be honest, its far enough from the battery so its not really a concern as of now. Ask Denali if he installed runners somehow but his hood pic looks identical to mine, he filled in the vents just like me.

My shop pretty much gives me a flat rate. After the whole hood was prepped painted and installed it was parked outside in the sun and an air bubble in the fiberglass popped like a pimple. They had to redo the whole hood.
