It does look awesome! Also wanted to mention I actually noticed a decrease in cabin heat after putting the hood on. I always felt it was like an oven under the stock hood and it went right into the cabin. You might want to pair it with a CF trunk too . If you leave the rain guards on it won't pump heat out too well, I leave them off. When I wash the car dunno what CAI you have but if its open like my airraid i usually throw a towel or two ontop of the filter. Water still gets through even when washing it. . But can't complain about the way it looks . GL love the car.

Looks like you've been busy Russ. The hood is going to look great on your car! I'm looking forward to a ride in your quad digit beast!

Did you get it from Vis?

It is a VIS hood, but I bought it from one of their dealers.

Good to know. I have an ADM closed intake, but I know I'll have to deal with some water when washing.

Yea...got a few things I'm trying to finish before the fest.

No quad numbers right now. If I get there it will be after the fest. Owen's putting a 250 shot on it right now, which we think will be in the 900 RWHP range. I've driven it with about 800 to the tire, but not on slicks. I want to keep adding a little at a time to make sure I'm comfortable.

See you at the fest!

Awesome hood bro I was thinking of getting the same ,just wanna know does it have plates underneath or if it rains the water just sprinkles on the engine? I wouldn't paint it if I were you the CF finish looks sick

Thanks. It does have plates, but I won't be using them. I bought the hood for heat extraction. I'll just keep it out of the rain.

Definitely not keeping it CF...just wouldn't look right with my theme (IOM and matte black).

aaaaaaand Whammy.


I don't think anyone else got the reference PQ - kinda sad

I did. Just didn't post it. That was my favorite gameshow back in the day.

I headed over to ARD yesterday to test fit the new hood before dropping it off to paint. It looks crooked in the pics below, but that's because I accidentally left something underneath the hood on that side before snapping the pic. It (and some other surprise goodies) should be ready this week...just in time for the fest.

Here's a picture of the hood, and a quick Photoshop of what it will look like.
