If you do get a VIS hood make sure that it will clear the front strut bar. I love my RRM hood, even with a few flaws in it.

The carbon shorteage is a SERIOUS problem. We stocked up on raw material and survive it. Unfortunately, we paid 3X what we paid a year ago.

Wow...that is a significant increase! Same thing happened to steel a couple years ago, and is now happening to copper.....even though copper has kind of stabilized now.

look at the evo ones, is it just a metal plate with vents going in a certain direction? if so, itd prolly be cheaper to make one, or see if even the evo one fits, it might be too big, but if it is just a piece of metal, I'm sure you could just drill new holes in it.
