Ram Air 1 on my Formula

Well, went down to Hawks Thirdgen to meet LT1_Guy and Red Raif and swap my RA2 for an RA1 hood with them.
They are very nice people, we all hung out and bs'd for about 4 hours talking cars and whatnot.
Red Raif (Shannon) is very attractive in person.

Anyways, here is the RA1 hood on the Formula.

Looks good, i prefer the RA1 hood ti the 2 on formula's
I think it really flows with the rear spoiler better.
I plan on getting one soon.

are the holes cut out on the inside? How's the hood holding up if they are?

just curious. My bodyshop told me there was a sticker on the hood about "any modification of this hood voids the warranty" or somesuch.

also, I had heard that the hood came with holes cut on the sides for the air to exit ( like near the normal air-box)...but mine came with none. How is yours setup?

Mine doesn't have the holes cutout behind the nostrils, but it does have two holes on the sides right above the airbox and battery.

well - I went ahead and got my bodyshop guy to cut the holes out behind the nostrils, as mine was COMPLETELY sealed up. This is aggrivating....I expected more from ASCD.
