It makes the 8 look longer somehow. It reminds e more of an FD even though the FD has nothing on the hood.

Is there any insulation pad underneath the hood, like with the stock aluminum hood?

If not, does the engine sound louder?

I actually really like this hood (I didnt think I would) i think it gives the 8 a very different look with just this one piece (at least in your pictures)

I'm with BigO though, paint that ****.

Thank u guys for the feedback I aknowledge that there were more likes than dislikes. I prefer this hood the way it is because it bring the color of my 8 out. I would like to change the radio and add something better but only the future will tell

I must admit. Hood looks better than I thought it would on the RX8.. I currently looking for a new hood since someone decided to hate & keys the stock hood nice & deep all the way cross pretty much. f......k faces.. Im diggin the Greeks hood too though.. How much weight is saved with the carbon fiber? EDIT--If what was stated earlier about the hood weighing in at 25 lbs is true, then thats 10lbs heavier than the stock hood & posted in the Sticky under The Tech Garage. That sucks, the opposite way I wanted to go. --
