    Well, it's definitely a cowl.

    Kinda looks like the Intense cowl. o_O

    I couldn't pass it up. I bought it because of the price and history more then the looks of it.

    Personally I like the ASCD cowl hood best but those aren't gong to be made until someone takes over from Rex passing away.

    That hood does look pretty mean. Love the vents in the side of the cowl. Seen one on a black GP with the vents for a advertisment. Might have been cf though. Like it man, looks awsome. I was thinking of getting one, but doesn't come with the vents. Suppose to be like only 17 pounds. 20 to 30 pounds lighter than oem.

    Wow, that hood looks good. Definitely a one of a kind car now.


    Oh yeah.. by the way, what is your address and approximately what times do you leave your car out in the open unoccupied? j/k

    I put it on myself, all by myself, yes, like 12-15lbs or so.

    I got the car together and couldn't drive it because I couldn't close the hood

    It was too light to move the spring in the hood latch. I spend 2 hours or so driving around town trying to find a lighter rate spring that would fit in the latch. What a PITA that was.

    When I was reading up on it, they recommended hood pins, but the only place I can see to mount them would put them coming out a quarter way up th hood. Don't know how good that would look. Did you come up with anything yet? It'll still be a while before I get mine though. 700 bucks is the cheapest I found so far. I want to get my motor work done first.
