Hehe, stupid title, i know. I couldnt think of anything else.













Untill youve seen it, you have no idea how much more room you have to work on the motor with no hood!

I asume thats carbon fiber

so I think your title is EXCELLENT! Lift off hood lifts off! If my assumption is wrong, isn't it a little heavy tolift off and on?

i see no point in a carbon hood. the stock hood is very light. probably under 45 lbs.

You must get all kinds of looks when you check your oil at the gas station!

Bring a sheet so when you go to lay it in the show it does not get all messed up....

If you need help lifting it off, I am only 45 min away!

Nice clean install Rick....all joking aside.
