Do the cut outs on this hood come with screens to maximize air flow? In other words is it functional? Are they good quality fiberglass, fit and finish? can you use existing hood latch and hinges? thanks.......

Hood is set up to direct air to the pass fender area where the stock TPI airbox is. Otherwise you're on your own. I cut out behind the nostrils just for free air. I'm debating whether or not the pan I had planned on making is even worth the effort.

Quality is great. My hood need some work, but alot less then most glass hoods, or atleast that's what my body man said.

It uses the stock hinges and hardware.

Thanks Karps, I am running a carb anyway and want the airflow under the hood. Also I need the extra air for cooling. By the way all of the birds in the pictures were awsome. Thanks for the info ....
