I think this is more obvious looking at the Cervini pic because the hood is solid color with no stripes. I'll ask again, is there a Photochop expert on this forum that could throw a quick white or even better, silver set of Shelby strips on the Cervini pic for us to look at?
Go to photochop section.Thats where the gurus hang out and work their magic

The DCF is a lot more subtle and integrates the scoops into the natural curves and lines of the stock hood, more like the Cali Dreamn' does.
You said it exactly! The Cervini one almost looks square on top while the DCF Has more rounded smooth flowingness to it. I finally saw the extractor vents on the DCF and that concerns me though. Not sure I'm crazy about having water constantly fallin into the engine bay

lol well I guess u dont have to worry about that since there arent any DCF hoods for sell...JK around.

But good to know.

The DCFs didnt come functional it was left up to the purchaser to have that done. But so what if water falls into the engine bay in that location, its not going to harm anything, just make you have to clean it after it rains. I do a quick detail of the engine bay every time I clean my car.

Good find dan..That hood looks way to bulky for me..also i dont like my hood being a totally different color than the rest of the car.I guess it kind of works for GO though. I'm really considering concept hood like this from Cervini..Its lower profile and good price and knowing that it will be quality are good things
