Looks good. How long did it take to do this mod? I think I've had my Radix sittin almost as long.

Seriously tho, have u gotten to see if they work to lower the underhood temps from the Radix?

I dunno if I'll ever get around to measuring underhood's, but I can tell ya that plenty of heat is comin up thru the vents! ...and I think it looks killer! Got pulled over by the po-po for too loud and obvious big motor today...I guess the hood takes away from the "understated" look I had goin on...
It took alomost 1yr to the day...I actually broke down and had a local body shop do the paint...all in it wasnt cheap...
Hood $200, Glass panels from Mecham $300, Glue & kaka $125, Paint & BW $700...$1325 - why do I add things up!

No one ever said custom was cheap.

Long as you're happy, & they function, drain, & it sounds like they sure do, it's worth it. I sure didn't think a Radix would mean all the ancillary bits (trans, stall, Truetrac, etc.). Perhaps I don't everything I'm gettin, but overkill is how I safeguard myself from hopefully, potential damage to parts. And in all fairness, it's just money.
