New Hood! What Do You Think?
Scoop is quite wide...but i've seen worse.
that price is very imaginative for what it looks like....

Well I don't care for it but that's JMO! It reminds me of the Hemi Dart scoop. If it isn't functional it is really going to be grabbing alot of air and I could see hood flutter issues.

No way! They finally brought it out? Reflexxion, right? I've got the original, they put my car in SEMA last year with it on.
The latest pics, along with a couple from last year before paint, and one from SEMA before they pulled up the plastic and let the crowd in.
fastford, doesn't look like yours has the center divider in the grill though. Did you open it up, or is it solid behind the grill?

One bad thing about it being in steel. It's too heavy for the MRT/CDC/Steeda hood struts. I've been trying to get new struts for it from MRT for months, after talking to Scott Hoag about this, but haven't heard back from him.

I had heard they were going to have to change the design a bit for production, but it doesn't look like it has changed at all, except for the grill center piece.
One thing I did was buy a second set of wiper fluid nozzles and have them painted to match also. Wouldn't have stuck out too much on my car anyway, but I wanted it all the same color.
edit: Oops, just noticed it isn't your car.

Price was right for me - free, plus a pass to get into SEMA all week. 
As for hood flutter - the scoop (at least on the prototype) was not functional, it was stamped steel, just for decoration. Just like the GTAP hood scoop, except this one won't peel off. The front of it is plastic, held on my 6 screws. I had the painter cut my scoop open, but it still doesn't actually funnel any air to the filter. I can see the strut tower brace and intake cover through the grill though.
And as for hood flutter, it's a steel hood, heavier than aluminum or fiber glass, and stiffer. I have seen no flutter at all with this hood and the scoop open, and I've had it on for 9 1/2 months now.
And yes, I might at one time have gone faster than the posted speed limit.

Like a previous post said - if you like it, get it. The scoop doesn't do anything for me. Steel is good assuming its a quality fit, if it isn't, then IMO its alot more work ($) than working with fiberglass
