Yes, the very same one DerHase was talking about a while ago. It was purchased many months before all the information about cooling came out but still decided to put it on.

How's the fitment? Any gaps?

I'd say that it's pretty much the same as OEM. Quite excellent!
Do it! That will look super clean. Like Ben’s STI on Gears and Gasoline

I should have went with Seibon because at the time when I purchased my carbon fiber hood and rear hatch, Premium Deutsche was supposed to be top notch. Well, after getting them, I have nothing good to say about the company except that they are super light but as far as fitment goes and being an OEM replica, it fucking sucks!

Yeah I think we've talked about this in another thread. My only dealing with him was really negative and took tons of work on my end to get things right, and even then I had to still pay shipping on the return to Malaysia. What a PoS.

Which hood did you get from them?
level 1 vented hood. wasn't vented, didn't fit right, so much air comes in on one side that it makes the car unstable and shook the hood prop off.

Yeah I got their level 2 hood and I had to dremel the shit out of it to make it a true vented hood and there's a decent size gap on the passenger side of the hood.
sounds like the same mold. the car is much more unstable at 120+ with it, it's my #1 priority to get rid of it right now.
