Default NEW JK Ram Air Hood Just Ordered

I just ordered my new hood my my 2007 JK. It's made by RK sports, but through some investigation they have not got it up on their website yet. I haven't got it yet, but here's what I can answer so far.
1. This is a function ram air hood that forces air over the stock air box.
2. There are drain vents that allow water to drain & not be routed near air box.
3. There is a snorkel design in the works.
4. Prices:
Carbon fiber-$1500.00
Carbon fiber scoop / rest is fiberglass-$1100.00
Fiberglass-$700.00

I'm not big into the carbon fiber, so I ordered the fiberglass. Since these hoods are still new, they are estimating about 2 weeks until freight will show up at my door with it. I've been pricing hoods for a while, but they either are too high priced, or are non functional. I bought mine here:

h t t p://www.offroadgears.com/product-p/48011020.htm

Fiberglass shipped was $750.00!

I'll update once it gets here

Pretty cool, but I would want it color matched too. Subscribed to see more after the install.

Looks pretty cool, just wondering what happens if water ever splashed over the hood.
