Anyone have the RK Sport hood?

I'm not a big carbon fiber fan, so I'm looking at the RK Sport hood. Does anyone have this installed? Apparetnly its fiberglass - is this going to hold up well against the elements? I have the victory red, will it match my body color exactly? What's your guys' opinion on it? Thanks!

I tried to attach the pic from their website, not sure if it worked.

I don't have one so I cannot comment on the actual product. But in regards to your paint question, I don't believe they come painted. You would have to have a body/paint shop paint it for you. So keep in mind the extra $ when purchasing.

I have the hood now... problems you will face are: Water getting stuck in the hood, when opening the hood water will pour on your engine thru the hood latch area, the hood latch gets rusty, it doesnt fit exactly perfect, and windshield wipers will not pull out all the way since the hood sits so high. other than that i love it....

I've had it on my LS for 6 months now, still ok, basically everything he said, but my hood fits pretty good...I'd buy it again for sure!!!

i've had mine on for a week, its painted fiberglass. the guy who painted it did an amazing job. Matches perfectly. after i wash it though there is water in the air cowl and sometimes it will pour right on top of my ******* intake haha. other than that, the wipers, as he stated. looks too sweet though. 10/10
