As an added benefit,the lower vent sits nicely over my Typhoon intake (also in CF!)
This has resulted in very direct cold-air intake,and a noticable increase in,um,zoom zoom.
An added bonus-the engine absolutely screams, and people get the f* out of the way when they hear her screamin' at 5500rpms.....
It took my ECU about half a day to reconfigure to all the cold air she's sucking in,and it still stutters here and there,but no matter.....

Nice, I also bought the KS.

Can you tell if it's got a clearcoat, or just epoxy on the top? I'm also worried about the CF breaking down in sunlight.

In either case, wax it regularly. Be sure to use a sealant first.

will simply waxing it with a sealant that has UV protectants be enough to prevent the breakdown of the CF?

Seibon claims UV-coating,but I garage my 8 just to be sure.
I bought an '05 WRX Sti tonight,it came w a CF trunk that's looks to be two years old or so,(no brand name on it) and it seems to have faded a bit,thru the 'UV epoxy',and gone a but gray....
That being said,it's not VIS or Seibon,and CF has come a long way in the past couple of years,so I expect the new CF will hold color just fine-with the Florida sun,excepted.

Nice hood man! Lookin' to buy a Seibon in the near future myself.
I'm not familiar with vented hoods, where does water go when it rains???

same place water goes when you drive in the rain. The engine bay is far from water tight.
