Yes, understood on the N1 versus AD9 nomenclature. Enjoy your hood as well.
Got my kit in not too shabby 4 month wait. It all looks good the quality is great.

Except they made a mistake on my order.. The hood was supposed to be carbon fiber, I did not receive the front head lights with the supporting brackets or anything. R-E said the shipping company might still have the lights... Just some BS. But it looks like they will fix it and ship me a new carbon fiber hood and hopefully the shipping company still have my lights....

Enjoy

Good choice on sticking with the 93-95 front bumper. I think its the best looking option out there.
albertomg... thanks for the compliment. Yes, I know that most brag about how fitment on their aftermarket hoods is "perfect" only to see the hood in person and find that it has "some" gaps that weren't mentioned, but this one is incredible. Dead nuts perfect in keeping with the stock hood's dimensions.

As others have mentioned, cooling is the main benefit. I took data with my old "RotaryExtreme" AD9 hood and compared to the stock hood, I saw an average 3 to 5C drop in engine operating temps. That makes a big difference here in Phoenix duing the summertime.

To Slow... awesome kit. Would like to see more detailed pics of that motor??

Looks tasty. Motor and Bodywork. I liked the AC 037/987 over the Super Greddy look myself.

I was in Phoenix/Chandler Area over the long weekend. Would have liked to see the hood in person again, but it was too much of a last minute trip

=(

Who fabricated that intake manifold for the 20B? Looks great!

Ahhh... update to what? My original thread about my AD9 hood, or the 3 rotor build thread that this has turned into?? Not that it matters to me. I'm also interested in the 3 rotor build, but we may want to start a new thread on that topic. That's all
