Harrop in Preston. They installed my supercharger and did the original dyno tune, so I wanted the same equipment for this tune.

I'll put up a video once I get the car back

Looks fantastic. I was going that route but ended up with the trufibre hood. Was such a hard decision and seeing yours doesn’t help lol
LoL, I actually considered the TruFiber good too. Looks tough! Good choice ;)

I've seen a few around, so I opted for the GT350 hood instead. I'm happy with the look and functional heat extractor vent :)

I like your Trufibre the centre intake is nice and low and different to most others and I like the heat vents. I've got a Carbon Anderson Composites GTH coming and it will be painted rather than natural Carbon.

@ Pagey that's looking great. Did the new hood change forward vision at all? Mine is stock and I still feel like I'm looking out over a carrier deck from time to time.

The air inlet hump on the TruFiber hood does impact forward vision a little. You can definitely notice the higher hood, which is another reason why I went with the GT350 hood as it's a lower profile hood than the OEM hood :thumbsup:

Any idea if the GT350 bonnet matches up with stock front fascia or does it need the full GT350 kit?

Yep, it matches up fine. I've seen another S550 up close with the GT350 hood and OEM fascia and all the lines matched up. I guess it depends on how good your bodyshop is at tweaking the final fit. Anything non-OEM will require a bit of fine tweaking to make it line up nicely.

I'm tempted to get the GT350 intake manifold with GT350 throttle body done too, but I've had some major drivability issues with the GT350 throttle body, which my tuner just couldn't get running right, so we went back to OEM throttle body :(

Couple more views from different angles :thumbsup:

You certainly notice it but its not that much more intrusive than the stock one.
