Its hilarious how threads like this dont get "modded/deleted" but the ones with actual information are all chopped up.

 

My '91 NA came with a steel hood and for a while the only aluminum hood I could find was a T2, so of course, it went right on.

I didn't like the hood bulge.
Ignoring all the other potential downsides to that particular swap, I didn't like the view.

I was fortunate to obtain a non-vented alloy hood (more or less right color even), which is ideal.
Not to belabor the point but if you can save a chunk of pounds without compromising function/quality (it is factory after all), then why the hell not?

A side benefit of the lightweight hood is increased options for hood struts, if one is so inclined.

 

No one is selling their TB mod or apex seals or porting template here.

I'm with Jack.

I suppose it's another one of those personal preference things people will just debate ad nauseum. I wouldn't put a TII hood on an N/A, but that is just my tastes.
