nice hood, but is there something wrong with the fitment on the passenger side? It doesn't look like the hood is popped, but I can still see through to the engine bay....
highrpmek: you can say that about any hood -- yes if you cut the hood I'm sure it would fit -- he asked if the hood had space to clear the intake, and since they don't use either of those intakes on the Chargespeed car I would not think that they would make an empty space on their hoods to use them -- but if you want to buy a $900 hood and then cut it up to fit, why not just buy an authentic J's or Mugen hood that you know would fit? I assumed that he did not want to cut up the hood.

fitment is very good - threw it on in 10 minutes and needs to be adjusted towards the passenger side just a little, but I'm taking it off to paint it so didn't bother getting it perfect, yet.
It's very light - you can see through it
but the latch is sturdy and has held up to 110mph

How do you know it doesn't clear J's intake? A OEM hood doesn't have a hump but you can but away some of the metal and it will clear. How do you know this hood does have a thin spot where the intake would be?
