A tuning parts website in Germany wants 4533€/4881$ for Anderson Composites TYPE-OE Carbon Hood + TYPE-OE Carbon Hood insert (including shipping).
And if i would order the OEM Hood + Anderson Composites TYPE-OE Carbon Hood insert it would cost me 4808€/5175$ (including shipping and import fees for the hood).
So around 300€/$ more.

I havent seen a lot of people with the Type-OE ZL1 Hood. Besides the not so nice looking heat shield is there any reason to order the OEM Hood instead of the Type-OE ZL1 Hood which i don't think about?

Would you buy the TYPE-OE Carbon Hood or the OEM Hood?



Also got some questions about the Anderson Composites TYPE-OE Carbon Hood.

Do you really need hood pins? Since i drive on the Autobahn it is not rare for me to go 160mph for a couple miles (faster isnt fun in the 1LE) so i think i definitely need them.
I havent seen any pictues of the Type-OE Hood from the underside. How do people apply the heat shield with this hood? Only place i can think about is on the sides.
Has anybody thought about putting a matte PPF on the Carbon Hood and clear PPF on the Hood insert? Keeping the oem look of the matte hood.
Would you save on shipping of you got the dry carbon with integrated insert?
