I'm in! Just then only problem is that I don't think I can prepay. I got bigger bills to pay for, but I REALLY want this. It's a fully functional hood for the 99, correct?? No hood pins right?

Some questions:
How much weight does it save over stock?
Does it attach using the same hinges as stock?
Come painted? Or can it be painted the same and will the finish be the same?

It uses the same hinges as the stock one, (its a bolt on mod)the color would be the black looking carbon fiber (real carbon)
As color is black, there is no need to color it inless you want to cover up the carbon fiber look, but comes with a clear coat. I do not know the weight diffrence in hoods at this time.

Good score...
but it looks too plain for me, I think I am going to find someone locally (already know who) and get one custom made with hopefully an air inlet in there somewhere...

What do you think I'm doing. Getting this for car shows and stuff, and modifying my stock one to look more aggressive for performance.

If you're into the carbon fibre look, it's for you, otherwise it should drop the weight down on your car a bit.

Chow, why aint there gonna be any subtle changes to the hood besides it just being carbon fiber. Like I've mentioned before why not make the complete center of the hood have a rise starting from 0" at nose to about 1 1/2" at the cowl, with the rear being a vent for heat to escape from the engine bay, probably wouldn't change cost much, if at all, and would help out a bunch with heatsoak. You probably won't be able to convince to many people to just swap a hood that looks the same as stock, save for carbon fiber and a little less weight, for $500, so why not do it right, you've got the connections already so make it function and look a little different from stock at least. Like I said my suggestion will probably not change price to much, but I guarantee people will be more prone to by it. At least that way it'll be more justifiable why I(you) spent $500 for a hood, CARBON OR NOT!!! I'll be in than, but as of now I'm not!!! I say everyone should agree and push for my suggestion, there should be no ram air, at least with carbon, probably gonna cost up in the G's!!! Like they say "FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION" and not "FUNCTION FOLLOWS FORM!"

I'm with quicksilver... He's got the right idea... We need to vent the engine bay...
I don't really want to go with the carbon fiber hood though... If it is available with that dark red/black carbon fiber look, I will think about it... I'd rather get a fiberglass one, for I will probably want to paint mine... Anyways... Keep me posted..

i am thinking about buying a Mustang or WRX scoop and having it molded into the hood over the intake runners. Keeping the engine cooler.
