RRM's hood is a great hood also, which is inspired for their turbo setup, the bodykits.com hood is a replica of the actuall exo x hood which you wil see the same hood on the evo x. not sure why the vents werent opened...but its a start more companies coming out with more options for us, we should be happy...

I like how that hood looks better than RRM's I don't really like the vents on the RRM one even though they are functional, how much of a difference between the two could you really expect

It looks good.
I prefer the RRM version because it doesn't have the Evo X look.
But I like the way they did this one.
Great addition!

I like that design a lot. Very cool looking hood. Onlyu thing I dont like is the two vents designed to pull heat out of the engine are not functional. You would have to cut it out.

How hard would it be to get those vents cut out?

At the front they could pull out the hot air from the radiator. Vents in either location are functional, but i couldn't say which would be better for removing hot air.

Mark it out. use a dremel to cut it out. then use resin to finish off the CF edge. add mesh to inside. done. Shop could probably do it real quick and easy.

I think it's 1000X better than RRM's... at least this design flows well.

No squirter holes. AND no hood prop hole. WTF is it with CF hoods and leaving out the basics?
