Hoods

Today I was browsing and found a really nice looking hood similar to the ones Prodrive used on their WRC cars.

I spent a little time doing searches for similar hoods and wasn't able to find any with the vent in front of the scoop. I really like the look, but I'd rather see some options before just ordering the Seibon one. Has anyone seen something similar? A non-CF one would be worth looking at as well. Vendors, do any of you carry this kind of thing in stock? Or if you don't, can you get a better shipping price than the $150-$200 they quote on most of the online places?

Thanks,

I have that same hood on my bugeye. The hood is nice. The scoop is HUGE and you will need to paint the grills.

I believe that exit on the top of the hood will push hot air through your hood scoop, so if you're moving and don't have a FMIC, you'll probably heat soak your TMIC.
