Killer. I'm local too, so I can come pick up. What's needed to make it useable? Needs to be refinished at all?
well its almost the same as the picture that was posted. Its in gray primer form.

I meant current pics, since those were before the mold was made and everything. And that whole business about cutting out the vent.... dunno what ended up happening, as we all thought it would have been destroyed to graft the vent onto the OEM NA hood.
So yah, current pics of the original hood is what i meant, sorry for the confusion.

I hate to be a naysayer, but it looks somewhat blocky. Smooth and sleek is kindof supposed to be the look of our cars, isn't it? The original turbo hood scoop looks much sexier and has pretty much the same functionality.
...Just my opinion, of course.

And Second, it has the OPPOSITE effect of the stock TII hood scoop. When you have a V Mount or FMIC, you need air to be EXTRACTED from the engine bay, not SCOOPED in. Also, hot air extraction aids in cooling efficiency (radiator).
MUCH better function than the stock TII heat-soaking top mount IC...
