weren't all T2 hoods AL?? maybe i was misinformed there
N/A hoods could be either steel or AL though pending on model or whatever.

funny how talking about engineering changes in the FC, I was replacing my calipers and upgrading to some SS lines yesterday and talking about putting in the DTSS eliminators, and that started a nice big discussion about changing the engineers initial plans and whatnot, but the DTSS mod is a fairly common one that really does throw a whole lot of engineering to waste.
It was a good thing I could laugh about it as a mechanical engineer too, that some stupid schmuck can take this hardcore complex tri-axial floating hub I could design and make it go to waste with a $40 bushing lol

Whenever you modify a car you are basically changing a lot that the original engineers set it as, so if anyone complains about that on this board you seem confused, but yeah im done sharing my story, I'm just happy I finally worked on my dying brakes and did some upgrade to my car lol
