CF tC hood installed *pics
My CF hood finally arrived yesterday, and I thought I would share with you. I purchased it through www.creativecompacts.com and although the site is not completely finished and up to par, you may purchase if you wish. I also installed the CF dash kit and WR secret intake this weekend. They are also available for purchase. You can check out more pics on my site http://members.cardomain.com/lvnurs9

LVNURS9-
I checked out your cardomain.com page and I saw that you said you had some problems with the latch on the CF hood. Can you elaborate? I really wanna get one. Thanks.
Juan
P.S. Cool intake!

The piece attached to the hood (the latch lol) is attached with screws- not fixed like the stock. Because the hood is so light, it didn't wanna snag. We just used washers to make the latch a lil thicker and it worked just fine. We contacted the company and the probelm has been corrected. You wouldn't have the problem if you purchased it. I bought the first hood from them.
As far as the gap, I am sure it is slightly wider than stock, but not by much. If you have seen a CF hood on any other vehicle it's the same way. That close up was at an angle, which may make it look a little bit larger than it is. I think it fits perfectly.

As far as the intake...check his website. The dyno sheet is there to prove it. The intake is a new design made to push more air through the throttle body by inserting another, smaller intake inside the 3.5in pipe. You can see an uninstalled picture on my site and an explanation on his.

There are no pre drilled holes, sorry. It's a brand new hood. I will contact the company to see what can be done about having them drilled.
As far as the intake, look for yourself:
For your Reference...
Run 004 - Stock Intake
Run 005 - Our Secret Weapon Intake 2nd Pass
Run 003 - Our Regular Intake
Run 001 - Our Secret Weapon Intake 1st Pass
