Hey folks, just got my new hood painted and wanted to share with everyone. Definitely loving the new look. This is a prototype from Tapout. They are making a few more changes to perfect the design before releasing to the public but you will get the idea from my pic.
Haha no worries. I'm sure there will be other designs over time, but I'm really happy with this one, especially since it is the only one in the world right now!

I've seen "carbon" hoods that are really carbon film layered over fiberglass. Seems it would weigh significantly more than the stock aluminum unit.
I would consider buying one that was significantly stiffer, and did not make aerodynamics worse than stock. Those are my 2 requirements.
@WONT TAP - surely you've seen the hood flutter (on CT5 at least) at speeds that are not really that fast. I'm stunned the paint is flexible enough to stay on through that !!
I am now neutral to vents / no vents after owning the car for a year although I must admit I initially wrote the car off for "not looking aggressive enough". I think some waterfall style vents down the sides of the hood (kind of like the hellcat chargers) could be cool as an aftermarket offering for the 5 as long as it plays into the body lines well. OP - Hood looks good especially painted with the extractor left CF
