TII hood alternatives
I have a TII conversion in progress and the one TII hood I have located will cost me $250.00 for shipping, due apparently to a wooden crate having to be made.
I'm wondering if some of you did something different, such as added an aftermarket scoop to the original hood, or perhaps a carbon fiber? I would be over $500 in a used hood at this point, I don't think so.

Get an FMIC and you don't have to use the TII hood...
FMIC's will cost ya anywhere from 500-1300 bucks.
Running steel air pipe, my custom FMIC with a 20x8X3 Modine aluminum core is sitting right about 500 bucks right now.
You can get a greddy v-spec FMIC for about 850-950.
the stock TMIC sucks..

Going to pick up the car at kevin's now, I'll ask him about the front-mount option. Any write ups around here on just how to do this?
THANKS for all the suggestions..anything beats paying $250 to ship a hood!

I need a hood or FMIC.
I still have AC and PS so doing a FMIC kit will be a PITA.
This is also a Daily highway driven car.
Less chance for damage if it's TMIC.
I'm also relatively stock so I won't got FMIC just yet.
Maybe down the line once I have an extra 1k laying around(WONT HAPPEN). I'm already trying to save to go to college and get an apartment ugh.......

with that said, a good pack job does not require a crate. Its just the best way to go but not the only way.
