Email rw and tell them you want a cs style dry carbon hood. I've requested this as well.

With all the vanity covers in place should be okay, and if it’s raining hard, as in Vancouver, drive the car harder so it evaporates quickly!

Using a good FLIR IR camera, hotspots are over 200 centigrade.

I am thinking about the gpower hood for the track, but, I know right?

Yea should look really good. And will be totally unique as far as I know. I want the vents and some CF on the hood, but leaving the entire hood CF seems a little too aggressive lol
