Not yet. The first TII hood didn't come out well around the hood scoop, so we had them redo it with some changes to it. The CF didn't lay well around the scoop, so it will be black gel coated (hood scoop) and the rest of the hood will be CF. It will look nice when it is done now. We won't send out work that doesn't meet our expectations Pics should be out this week.

I know that this may seem like a bit of work, but I am planning to route the ram air ducting for the front brakes up toward a cold air box for my cone filter, and maybe even figure out how to use two air flow meters because they are a dime a dozen on Ebay! I just have to figure out where to install the resistors in order to halve the voltage of each meter so the air/fuel ratio won't get messed up. Oh yeah, better get an S-AFC while I'm at it

I did a vent in the hood just above the headlight and directly over the filter. Grafted it in from a 300zx. gonna be building a FG cold air box in there when I figure out what I'm doing with the AFM problem I have.

You'll have to either install a temp sensor leading to a guage onto your dash so that you can monitor the temperature while you are driving, or you can put a thermometer near the air filter and drive around for a while and then pop the hood to see what the temp was. Personally I kind of like the idea of having an intake temperature guage.
this is sorta what i did-i just got a ext. digital temp gauge[with a 8' cord or some'thin]and temporarely hooked it up.i made a pretty crude cold air box,w/o any headlight cover feed yet,just drilled a bunch of holes into the sheetmetal behind the headlight to try and get some cold[er] air in there,andeven on a primitive setup like that,my temps inside the air box where a consistent 30-40 * [f] colder the hanging the sensor right next to the box in the eng. compartment.i belive that is enough to make a difference.

here's a pic of my hood with the vent. the air filter is directly under it. (I'm fully aware that more air probably escapes than goes in it right now without the cold air box below) the horrible paint was just to get it all protected till I paint the car.
