    I have a FG version as mine will get painted. It had a bit more of a natural curve to fit the stock hood a bit better. I used rivets and sat it on top of the hood to get a specific track pig look.

    That fits the width of the hood better than I realized. I'd like to see how it performs.

    Our hoods are pretty curved. I can't imagine anything flat like that wanting to bend easily. In for pics though.

    On the galant vr4 forums a lot of members use the gt500 oem hood vents. They are like $80. However the design is a little bit different and it doesn't look like it would vent as much as this ebay one.


    Also heres a pic of a similiar vent I saw cruising the other forum.

    I have a ford gt500 hood vent on my car. They for perfect after you remove 2" section out of middle. I think it looks good on my 1st gen because of the more angled look of 1st gen vs 2nd or 3rd. There are pics around here somewhere of my car.

    NG thread has one that Vira took. In those the vent is warped a bit because I melted it....long story but making a new one this winter.

    There is a company that produces a metal version of the GT500 vent, but it's around the $300 price point IIRC.

    I saw that at NG, was all about it until I saw that it was cut, maybe it being melted made the cut more obvious, but didn't care for what I saw at the NG carshow.
