I ordered from him also, but he sent the thick sticky covers with the standard, but the sticky ones only came in yellow and smoke...no amber

Their site is down right now. I don't see where the air comes out on the drivers front corner for it to be functional.

I think it is designed to empty into your stock air box if you remove the lid or work with an after market CAI....it is pricey, when you start with a $600 hood add shipping and prep and paint and install its not really that pricey

479.00 for hood 40.00 for tax I was told 150.00 for shipping but then again, I had the hood done directly from one shop and I did not have to do a thing but bring my car in when the hood was painted and have it installed....I am sure if you would want to do it all your self you can save a few hundred....but it was not worth it to me....since it was not my insurance paying for it....And I went to a shop I trust and have used in the past, plus they are having to repaint it due to Tungsten matching problems, not their fault, but Fords...for having more than 1 shade of tungsten! Plus I have heard horror stories of hoods shipped that were damaged in shipping and had to be returned, and that would be a pain to deal with...so I am quite happy with the price I paid

Why did you have to pay tax? Did you buy it from a place in Texas?

So basically the scoops are open and dumping air right on top of the motor....how far back are the scoops from the front edge of the hood? Could you measure that distance for me? I have the WMS Ram Air Tray and I'd like the air to dump into the tray, but I'm not sure if the scoops are too far back on this hood. Any help would be apprecaited.

I have a tungsten on order and am having my dealer paint and install the GT/CS front fascia at delivery.

yours is the only tungsten I have seen with the GT/CS fascia, so I am very interested in pics. Do you have, or would you take, any better lit pictures from the front, in which the lower portion of the bumper is visible and not in shadows...

I like by the way, I like.
