Hi,

I am gone for a week from home, but can also send some if it would be helpful when I return, just let me know.

Here are some shots of the hood. The first one is from the driver's seat but there's a bit of glare and reflection of the defroster vents on the windshield.

thank you, is there any venting at the back of the hood between the wipers?

Yes there is significant venting at the back. You can see it in person but it doesn't show up well in photo's. Vorpal's yellow hood would probably make a better picture. There are slots almost as wide as the front vents and about 1.5" tall on each side. If you look closely enough at the pictures you can see them. That's the main reason I took the shots from outside the A-pillar and of the bottom side of the hood (hoping to show them better).

I love that hood. i wish it was available for purchase without the package.

[2006GT500]

Is it not available separately?

[circleofsnakes]

Yet?! Are you hinting at something. I know there was talk about possibly putting it into production.

We went to Henderson on Thurs. and the sales person showed me 6 deep draw hoods, and said more should be in within the next few weeks. They said as soon as they get orders filled for the TRT cars waiting to be built they are gonna release to the public. they would not say exactly when, but that it WAS being released. I put my hands on them and they are nice. Chris

I'm hoping to join soon. I know it's a small amount, but i've been on a tight budget lately.

Awesome! This is great news. I've had several different hoods in mind for my car. Now there no doubt what hood I want. I've waited this long, I can wait a bit longer.

I had no idea these hoods were functional. I was under the impression that this was the CS6 hood.

hope they release this hood like they did the SS hood, plenty of us SGT owners are waiting for one.
