Carbon Fiber Hood Quality

Are there any stock style carbon fiber hoods out there that are good fitment and quality that have all the same stock locations for the struts and everythig?

I saw that gravana tuning has a nice looking stock one but wikkymaster said it doesnt have a place for the 2 struts for the ss/sc models?

Anyone know anything?



Thanks
Ern

mine is nice, but yea the struts have to have holes drilled if you want to use them, so i just dont have any prop rod now, kinda a pain when working on it but its light so its easy to hold up plus the prop rods might be too strong for it thats what im thinkin

What year is your SS/SC? Mines on 06. If you have an 05 I bet that is the case,

I have an 05 and I only have one strut. Asstyme's sig says he has an 06.

There is a spot for it on the SS Ram Air CF hood, but it makes the hood tweak, because it is only on one side according to Bulldog71ss. He just took his off.
