that is a different picture than what i have saved in my wishlist...the other one was functional and they covered the holes with mesh...seems like i will be taking it off my list since it has such horrible reviews.

Most hoods on ebay are trash, you have to be VERY careful. I also subscribe to most fiberglass stuff being a complete pain and not very durable either. Either get steel, composite like some factory hoods are or carbon fiber (yes carbon fiber, just do it right and paint it). CF is ridiculously strong and will fit well if the manufacturer uses a quality mold. CF just has a bad stigma from all the boy racers driving around $500 1996 Civic hatchbacks with unpainted CF hoods on them .

Btw my neighbor has the FMF Expedition which comes with the 3d carbon body kit. Now 3d carbob is a good company and even then I can still see waves in the bumper.
