i know everyone is goin to flame me for this but i have a question about the hood, if i use a RB20 xmember i know that the intake mani will hit but will the valve cover hit the hood, also if a person were to install a greedy-like plenum it wouldnt hit right?

Actually what hits is the bov and the timing belt cover.

Most CF hoods wont have the same supports as the OEM hood, so you should be ok with one of those. On my car the Intake pipe right by the throttle body (where it lumps before crossing the cam cover) hits and the piping on the FMIC hits, but thats right by the timing cover, so its prolly one or the other. My hood closes though, just have to push a bit to latch it.
