I didn't cut the back of mine out because the hood is open up front...closed in the back...and the underhood temps drop dramatically......plus...the SS hood is modeled after the 1996 SS Hood...which is not cutout in the back...

Have any pics with that hood from the inside? Still have pretty good visibility? I'm 6'3'' so I dont think its going to block my vision too much but 4" sounds like a lot.

Sweet. I def. need a new hood and now REALLY considering that one. I dont like the RA2's. I think it clashes with our 80s, hard lines styling.
