Well, mine is an N/A with a T-II hood. The p/o put it on because he wanted an aluminum hood and he got it for free. Its still red because I have better things to spend the money one than a paint job.

Pfff...

N/A > TII (At least for people who have enough problems working on an N/A as it is...)

The only time N/A is ever better than a TII is when it comes to being slow.

(though I was referring to the tII hood on an n/a, and an n/a hood on my turbo vehicle)

Yeah, it really is a shame to have a red hood on such a clean, black car. My red hood kinda adds to the overall crappiness of the paint job.

That's up for debate! Full suspension and wide sticky tires makes for lots of control.

Ok, not to be a party crasher, but to be on topic, why are you guys saying it's so clean/etc? It's a dark picture and very hard to see, yeah the body looks straight and the paints all there, but ya can't really tell from those pics!

Anyways, back on topic-ish. You can probably find a black hood for pretty cheap. I'd suggest getting one for now. Or you could trade yours for a black one, depending on quality etc etc.

(sorry for the threadjack, hope the poster knows it's in good fun!)

Edit: if you find a local painter they could probably throw a couple coats and some clear on for about $75 or so, as long as you prep yourself.
