MPD1 Z-Force is my favorite. Too bad it costs so damn much. I'll settle for the RK Sport. They'e pretty similar.

ZForce

While its very complementary that the Z Force is your favorite, saying its similar to the RK Sport is just wrong. Not knocking the RK hood just depends on your preferences

And now for one of my favorite phrases,
quality is not expensive, its priceless.

So I decided to have the car look closer to stock. Ther SS-9 hood has a larger/taller cowl area and is as close to stock that I could get with what I needed.

I looked and liked many versions with functional vents/scoops, but was concerned about water damage, engine compartment cleanliness.

New ACS hood equals close to stock.

Under new ACS hood NOT equal to stock!!
Love this! Anymore pics?

Is it not aesthetically similar aside from the extractors on the RK Sport? I like yours far better, but obviously if I like the other one too it's because it looks like yours. I'm sure there's millimeter differences here and there or in direct comparison.

I know yours is top tier quality as well, but RK Sport certainly isn't low quality. Never seen or read otherwise.

MPD1 Z Force hood by far. Quality and fitment is superb, better than anything I've seen. It only takes a dollar more to go first class and that's what you get with this hood.

MPD1 Hood on the shop car. Eric at MPD also did our front splitter, rear diffuser and spoiler, and custom grille, as well as the ghost stripes and painting. His work is top notch.

There's alot of really cool hoods on the market but, I have to say the Nickey Stinger Hood is my favorite.
