If I get a hood it would be without the vents, and I would keep the strip and the insulation...

But if you retain the insulation you would have to cut it anyways for the vents to work.... plus i thought about it when i had my hood done... there are around 15 holes you would need to drill for the insulation piece.... so i just left it off
pop open your hood... you will see about 10+ pop rivets holding the insulation piece.
but i had Gemini drill me the 5 small holes that hold the stock weatherstrip piece in the front of the hood near the latch area

Thanks! I can't wait for the other carbon pieces to come together! Marc said that they were going to design replacement pieces for the side mirrors. Just the cap that is the same color as your car. That would look sweet with the hood!
