Sounds like you bought an HO Fibertrends hood.

I've got one on my R, and like you mentioned, it does not have the cut out triangular brace underneath.

I put this on my car after having many issues with bubbles and cracks on the factory hood, as did many other 2000R owners.

If it looks the same on top, why are you concerned that it is different than stock underneath ? :shrug:

well you see my stock gt hood wont clear my tork tech kit so I had to buy a cobra hood now the underneath of this cobra r hood looks identical to my gt one so now I may have to cut into it like I was trying to avoid when I had the hood the cut wont go all the way through the hood which is a good thing but I just didn't want to have to do this and now ive wanted 180.00 when I could have spent it elsewhere for other parts, do you still have your stock cobra r hood polly not if so ill buy

Oh is ee what you're saying.

Then you do want an HO Fibertrends hood, it has no bracing underneath and will clear your intake.

And thanks for the offer, but my hood is not for sale.
