Looks like Z3 gills were just attached to an otherwise stock hood.

Doesnt look like the vents are functional, but I dont think it will look good on the 2 GS

this isn't my taste, seems like the vents were 3m taped on then smoothed out with bondo. but here is by far my most favorite hood, an oem with mustang cobra vents grafted in.

it belongs to dr.g (alfredo)

yeah i wish i could get it but i am in love with mine too though.


maybe if the vents on this white hood were more central and aligned instead of how they are now it might look better. it just looks like someone took premade vents like the APC stuff and slapped them on. see how they don't contour to the two lines we have on our hood?

i suppose but what you may not know is that those nostrils are strategically placed in front of the twin tubines!
