Phoenix7 will become famous soon enough
So I traded the blue hood for black rear seats + hardware and I ended up putting the vented hood on the NA for now.

I'll take pics tomorrow morning but I'm somewhat satisfied.

First it was chipped in the driver's side corner but that's not very important to me...lol,

Now, the vent covers don't like strut tower bars.....it seemed to touch on the NA's bar. I removed it but the latch is too stiff so it wouldn't latch. I didn't want to slam it too hard (it FG) but I tried a couple of times. The spring is too old and worn and it's all stiff. I'll have to get a new sprint and then lube up the latch and see if it closes a bit better. I understand why they say to use Hood pins... I ended up removing the spring in order for it to latch overnight....It should be simple to open tomorrow.

Fitment:
There is a gap between the fenders and front bumper but I thought it was acceptable/expected considering the price.

I installed it late tonight so I didn't get a chance to take pics and inspect it better so I'll update with pics tomorrow.

Now, I went for a drive afterwards and I left the car on afterwards. Hot air comes out of the second vents (from the front) when the efan comes on. I put the thermometer on the hood closer to the fender and it showed 68* then I put it directly behind the vent (on the FG) and it showed 109*

Mind you that was after driving and the efan had just come on.

Those are the first impressions......I'll update this post with pics and more critiques....

Which makes perfect sense. They are sacrificing safety either way. lol
