New hood

The irony isn't lost...

While my ride is idle at the moment, a CF hood arrived and I had no place to store it, so on the car it went. The non-M 300N force gas struts were replaced with 220N M3 gas struts. I tried living with no struts and a stick to prop the hood, at first. I definitely prefer using the gas struts. I still need to install Quik-Latch 2.5" lockable pins and have the hood painted.

For those with CF hoods, what are you using as an under-hood heat shield? OEM pad? Therma-tec (or similar) reflective foil? Thanks
