Just arrived today. And it is functional! B) The outlet is perfectly located over the top of the CAI box. This was just the pre-fit check. It still needs painted and fit though.

Nice choice! Please show us pictures when it's painted from lots of angles.

So you don't think bringing cool air in from outside the car is a good thing? Can you expand on that thought a little?

Bryan,

You are going to love the look of this hood. I will take a few more shots of it and send them to you through your e-mail if you don't mind. That way I can send you some higher resolution shots. Now all we need is MMR to get thier kit finished.

BTW, MMR sells their kit on ebay for a bit cheaper ($174) than normal ($199)

It ends today 10:56PST - noone has bid yet. If you miss it , dont worry they sell their for that price all the time.

I saw another MMR kit selling by someone else for $153. No one bid.

But I have seen MMR sell a few on Ebay.

can I get a few more pics of that hood? I've been wanting the CDC shaker system, but one look at that and I'm sold! It looks that good AND its functional? where the heck has it been the last few months?

(if you'd be kind enough to send them, I'm at singerofsongs@hotmail.com)
BTW - does anyone know how this hood's performance compares to the CDC? It looks loads better, whatever the difference.

What else could it be, Its known that this mod is based on looks over performance but it sure doesnt hurt being functional.
I like it
