GT500-styled hoods - how do they differ?

21-11-2022
The most popular GT500-styled bumpers and hoods are offered by 2 producers: IkonMotorsports and MP Concepts. Let's see exactly what the differences between the two hoods are.
 
✔ Material: Both hoods, just like the original one, are made of aluminum.
 
✔ Installation: Ikon's hood scoop is installed from the inside of the hood's center hole, while the MP's one is screwed ON the hood.
