that hood doesn't have pre drilled holes for the washers, doesn't say if it has rolled edges or is doubled sided.

Eh if you wanna pay 350 for it.

i clicked the chekout for the deft one and they'll ship for like $165. So you're paying $515 for a hood you don't even know about.... A little risky. I'd stick with the good brands... Kaminari, Seibon, MotorFX, AIT Racing, etc.

I have a Deft racing hood and the quality and fitment is freaking awesome!!! They ship with a freight company and customer service is great. I would highly recommend them.

dugzillaxb,
How difficult was it to install the Deft hood? Is it predrilled for the hardware? What was involved in the installation?

Thanks.

all I had to do was remove my old hood and bolt the new one on, nothing else! I was really happy with the fit and finish.

Hey dugzilla,

I had a customer ask me if we were a legit company (you can never be too careful online!) and i found this thread, and referred them over. Thanks so much for posting pics and the review, i really appreciate it. It's one thing to talk about myself, but its really awesome when someone takes the time to post up a review like you did.

Regards,
-Bill

No Problem Bill, The hood is still looking great, no fading chipping or separating. Thanks for a great product!
