I hope you get this thing done soon, I could use a new hood with vents for my T2 GSL-SE, keep the underhood temp down. I like it, nice large vents!

yeah a fg hood with stock latches really is kinda pointless, i took the bracing out of my stocker and it weighs nothing

Nice work, Manntis - look great!
I wonder why someone has hasn't produced a stock hood replacement? Between dent, dings, hail, etc - and the fact there's a 6 year volume of FB's - I'd think there would be a market for them...

The hood looks infinately better in person, trust me. The vents look great and are nicely proportioned in comparison with the rest of the hood. Manntis even went to far as to make sure that there were no sharp corners in the vents, but the same rounded edge that is found on the stock hoods. These things are going to look VERY nice in the final product.
