damn 750..... wow i think ill have to pass on that one... i wish they would come down in price.... i think 350 would be good haha....

compare it to a factory hood, its only slightly more expensive with superior construction. its the only aftermarket hood that is stamped steel just like the factory one

I'd like to hear what Laurie says about it since he is running one.

it uses the same sheet-metal thickness but the center brace is gone due to the vent and the additional stamping that is done in the center section of the hood. you can see the various sections in the above pictures - everything else is a factory reproduction except for the center section. I believe they opted for the 2 ribs on either side behind the vent as a structural replacement for the center section

Laurie (Oman) likes his a lot from what hes said in the past, he was one of the first people to get them and quadratec actually uses his photos for advertising

someone else beat me to it, posting the link.

What is your goal? If you just want heat-reduction, install some cut-in vents in your stock hood. Like these.
