Ah hem...anyways, we had these harsh *** winds at my house the other day, and my AL T2 hood wasn't secured down because I've been working on the car lately, and never had a problem with wind in my lil mountain area. So anyway...the hood blew up and over the rx7, my new protege, my broinlaw's xploder, my sister new '03 sxt neon, and finally hit our fence! Talk about wind! The angle that goes around the passenger headlight is bent down a little...not too much damage but enough to where I don't want to get it fixed cuz i only paid $150 for the hood itself and it'll prolly cost me that much to repair it....so for now, its back to the steel NA hood and maybe later one of those fancy CF fc3s.org hoods, lol..how much were they again?

Yeah i think a little soft tapping with a hammer could fix it temporarily.

I'm sure it would...but i'm a perfectionist...so oh well...its just an excuse for me to get the FMIC sooner seeing as the NA hoods dont have that nice scoop....

I would rather use the money towards a FMIC then a CF TII hood that weights almost as much as a stock TII hood, besides I never liked that offset hood scoop on those things anyhow.
