Looks perfect the way it is! Keep the CF look.

Still think it looks good, but how about that underside??

What else is there to say, it looks freaking really good.:thumbsup:

Looks great. I would keep it. A matter-of-fact where did you get it so I can order one?

I think I've decided why the hood looks so darn good. Basically, it looks so freakin good because A)it looks like the stock hood (so much so that I thought the first pic was of the stock hood at first) and B) it makes the hood look like it's got scales...... LIKE A COBRA! How appropriate, I think. Not to mention the 13-15lb weight savings.

Real nice, JKD, real nice. :thumbsup: :coolman:

Shoot me a PM and let me know where u got it and whatnot... I'm curious... sure it wasn't cheap though, aside from having it painted.

The hood look GREAT. Where did you get the vent covers, I've been looking for something better than the stock vents ?

Thanks for the help,

Vince

Definitely looks bad. Those large scoops will help underhood temperature. :thumbsup:

 

[JKD COBRA]

Thanks guys :beer:

vbaz - those vent covers came with the hood. They were originally silver, but that looked terrible, so I painted them black. You wouldn't be able to put them on a stock hood.

 

[vbaz13]

Does anyone know where I can get some vent covers like that for the stock hood ?

Thanks,

Vince

vbaz - you can order that type of wire mesh from a lot of import shops. I haven't been able to find it in any local department stores. But, you still wouldn't be able to use it on the stock hood. The wire mesh on the CF hood is connected to the underside of the hood. It is held on by little prongs. The stock hood does not have that.

The stock hood has a notch in it for the stock vents, so if you took those vents out, and attached the wire mesh to the bottom of the hood, it still would not look as good because of how the stock hood is. . . .

give me one sec and I will take a picture to show you. . . .

here is a pic of the vents from the underside. . . .this is how it is attached to the hood

Now, in this pic, you see how smooth the vent openings are?

And here is the stock hood, as you can see, it has a notch in it for the stock vents. So putting some wire mesh in place of the stock vents might not look too good.

JKD COBRA - Thanks for the information.

anytime man :beer: You could still try to do it if you want, but you would just have to find some way to rig it up. You wouldn't be able to just pop in the wire mesh vents.
