i have never heard of jsp, but my carbon fiber hood has warped and i think its because the guy before me went the cheap route. im guessing if the price is 699 canadian, then it must be a good brand. do some reasearch online to look for the company and the reviews they give.

ya JSP is a really good company, very populer up here..i havent looked at there hoods, but most likly you would have to drill holes for the fluid sprayers (you can find on line DIY for this) and if you can get them with the latch, you wouldnt need hood pins, unless your worried about it flipping up

Yeah, squirter drilling is pretty simple. Most companies will have the template marked right on the hood. If it's a good hood with reinforcement behind the latch, you should not need hood pins.

well i no a couple of people who used to come in the shop with CF hoods and they all stay up with the hood prop, but im not sure if its the same on them all. But for the fluid lines you can just pop the clip out of your old hood and drill a little hold on the underside of the CF hood, the same spot were the clip is on your stock hood, and pop the clip in and there you go..

heres a pic you wanted, gives you the picture
