Most of us remove it because it starts to fall apart into pieces.
I removed mine a little more then a year ago... No problems thus far.
1 year with stock twin heat and 2 weeks with single turbo.
O wait I have a vented hood tho. Probally gets rid of most of the "damaging" heat.
And its carbon fiber.
This makes me wonder about alot of heat/Paint related questions cus o don't know alot about paint and how it works

 

^ that would be an intresting thread to read. I would like to know the difference between carbon and stock hoods vs paint color retention

 

yes sirr.. ive always wanted to go v-mount but ddnt have the money for it.. but i got a sweet deal and my friend did a great job with helping me out.

yes sir its the greddy fmic fit prettydamn good. lol

Which do you prefer more, top or bottum?





Had a fuel rail come off. Slowly recovering.

 

are you talking about the dirt or the fact that there is no engine on the second one? LOL

 

Top is char :.(

 

that looks extra crispy to me, and here I thought only rotaries caught on fire,

that sucks.

That single with the greddy smic is probably how the 7 should have come from the factory, imho.
