thanks guys!

as for functionality; it sits right behind blower, so it is functional.

-------------

I'm going this saturday to install a 2.9, 42 lb, 2 step colder plugs, and 2.5 catback exhaust.

So far with just a super stock custom HPtuner tune I'm yielding 127 IAT2 MAX WOT 30 - 100 mph after multiple pulls. We'll see how this works to my satisfaction. If not much, it still looks nice

Mind you this is all a street tune, not dyno.

yeah i picked up the hood on an ebay auction unpainted for 220 shipped to my door lol.

cost another 250 to paint it though, which is still a kickass deal. so all in all i paid like 500.

and sorry to thread jack, back on topic. Hood is sick, can you see the supercahrger through the vents?

It's all good; I spent a hundred bucks more than you. But my dad owns a bodyshop... so my paintjob was free FTW!!

Umm to be honest I've been in such euphoria with waxing and driving with this hood on, I havn't looked. I can sure hear the S/C little more now though it seems.
