What purpose does the vent on the front left serve? I could see if it was on the right side , it would go to the intake, but is that just a vent to the turbo?

Cools down manifold/turbo. The intake duct is lower. It would have to be on the top drivers side of the grill on the bumper, or hanging off the bottom of the hood to get airflow to the stock intake duct. The C-West kit ducts to the stock intake.

I can't wait till it gets here! Turns out my body shop hasn't even placed the order yet! Those bastards! I'll post pics of the hood on my Tarmac with the Gialla front as soon as its out of the body shop.

Just found this hood too. All American Racers Carbon Fiber hood. I thought it was a one-off piece for the Apexi evo, but I guess they're selling them now... $1800 is a little steep, but the quality is definitely there. I hope my Gialla is as high quiality as this piece.

Where did you order it from, and what kind of price tag am I lookin at? I saw Vivid had it for $1499 I think. Did you find it cheaper?
