The 507 vents look small. With headers and the blower my under hood temps are crazy., I need some vents to release the heat.
Clark, thanks for the reply, where did you order it from?

Suncoast Creations in FL was last selling it. Not sure if they still are but it's probably worth checking.

I believe extreme dimension is the parent company and they're a forum sponsor. I was contemplating this or the Seibon.

I see most of these hoods are for the PFL cars. And it doesn't seem that mode Carbon is making their 507 hood any longer (at least it isn't on the website). Anyone know of any for the FL cars?

I bought mine through VIS Racing. The last I checked the price was ~$2500. Years ago, when I bought mine is was $1300 iirc.

Agreed. I have a couple of ideas I've been toying around with about what to do with the hood. Stay tuned, the Dremmel is going to get a workout....

I was also thinking about ceramic coating my headers. But, it's quite a huge job to fit the headers. Don't want to go through the hassle of removing them and re-installing them.

This is the same guy that makes the PFL Dads hoods. Decent guy and responds quickly. Message him directly may be able to get a better deal and also if you have it shipped sea freight and arrange from your closest port would get a better rate too. Can say I referred you may help since I was in touch already.

DO NOT USE THE FACTORY HOOD SHOCKS!!!
Vents dropped my temps by about 10-15 degrees.
