I was thinking since they said custom its actually custom not aftermarket. Quick search on the googles I didn't see that one.

This is the SCL hood. It's not vented but for 400 more they can vent it.

Did you end up installing hood latches?

They require all oem hardware to be transferred to this hood but fiberglass isn't as strong as aluminum and carbon fiber will retain more heat ( supposedly).

Do the beginning of the fake vents align with the space after the radiator cover? It's approx 18" from the headlight to the beginning of the opening so looking at pics, I would guess the vent opening wouldn't align; the hood opening would be right above the plastic panel above the radiator.
