STi hood for RS CGM hood..... to complete a front mount intercooler conversion.

What goin on guys. Just wondering if anyone in the area with a CGM STi wants to swap hoods with a CGM RS. I've been hearing of you STi/WRX drivers swapping hoods with RS's when you do a front mount intercooler conversion. IF anyone is interested, send me a PM. I'll even put down say $100 along with the swap.

Let me know.....

Is the RS hood aluminum like the STi?

The RS hood is by far heavier than the WRX/STi's hood.

Why not just get the hole cutom covered by a body shop or get the reverse scoop for ventilation?
