Stillen Stage 2 Hood

Hey guys,
I'm planning to strap a stage 2 to the G this spring. Not sure what i think about the hood, but I guess I don't have a choice if I want the Stillen. I see Stillen offers just the hood cowl, if you want to modify the OEM hood. Has anyone done that? Or do most just get the new hood itself. Not really sure how I'd get it around to get it painted and installed...maybe strap it to the roof... .

i like the stillen hood. leave it cf...or have the hood shipped directly to the shop.

installation is very simple...takes about 5 mins...only 4 bolts

I would say just go with a full hood. If you get just the scoop it looks funny just sitting there and doesnt attach all that great. Or you could get the scoop and have it molded but that costs alot more.

Yeah, unfortunately, it's more money not only for the hood, but then to get it painted as well. Oh well, guess you gotta pay to play huh.

I've seen a couple pics here and thought it didn't look too bad on a OB.
