Just bought a Knight Sports hood from someone on the forum, not sure if he wants me to mention his name, so i won't.

I know I'm gonna get a couple people who are going to ask about temperature differences, well, it's no more than 1-2C difference in water temp. Only thing I do notice is that if I run the car hard, it cools down faster and the radiator doesn't heat soak as bad when i shut the car down.

I really like the looks of that hood, but is it me, or does it seem like ALL aftermarket hoods have fitment issues?

If it didn't fit perfectly it would drive me nuts, but that's because I'm AR.

Damn you guys are **** Retentive.

Yeah, the hood isn't a perfect match even though the paint on the hood is brand new.

From the pictures alone, I can't tell teh difference, I don't know how you guys can.

But in person, you can kind of tell it's a tad lighter.

Sometime in the future I'll refresh the paint on the entire car. But not anytime soon.
