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

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!

Yeah thanks for compliment on the hood... people can't stop talking about it when they see it... it's like "hey you forgot about the rest of the car!!!"
