If you’re looking for a hood...

Just got this one from CarID.com. Made by Amerihood. Fitment was really good. Slightly heavier than stock although I don’t mind that. Functional ram air and heat extractors. Quality seems great. Thought about wrapping it but having it painted body color instead. I paid $696.00 shipped and had it in less than two weeks. If you find the hood on another site like I did, they will price match. After waiting months for my other hood I ordered and ended up cancelling, I’m very pleased with this.

Would love to hear opinions on it. Thanks.

Thanks! I think you ordered from the same company I did and around the same time too. I got a refund because I didn’t think I was ever getting it :(

Yea I'm thinking I'm not gonna get anything either.

Paid for a Spoiler 6 Months ago, still nothing....Paid for the hood over 3 months ago....nothing.

Thanks guys. I’m really happy with it. Having it painted in the next week or so along with the spoiler. I’ll update when finished.

They make a couple different hoods. To be honest I wasn’t expecting the quality
To be quite as good as it was. Figured I would need to touch it up a bit being fiberglass. But it’s good to go for primer.

Awesome glad the fitment was what you were expecting seems to be such a gamble nowadays.. Stock hood struts mount up and everything ok ?

Yep! Also came with new hardware for where it bolts to the hinges. I didn’t spend much time trying to line it up perfectly, but I really didn’t need to. The piece on the front for the latch is also adjustable depth as well.

Probably a couple hundred.

But on a more serious note, I am going to dremel under there a little so the air goes to my procharger air filter since it’s not in the same location as the stock air box. And that’s where this one puts the air. Also going to open up the extractors slightly. I really do think when I’m done that it will help with IAT’s. Not significantly but I’m guessing a little.

Are the heat extractors part of the mold or removable ?
