i bought one and just got it.... they sent me the invader hood for the 95-96 240 when i told them i drive a 97 and the damn piece of paper they sent with the hood says its for the 97-98! its just annoying cause i am gone for the week and cant send it back til i get home then by the time they send me my hood (hoping they are not morons and actually have a hood for the 97) i will be back at school. i hope they dont think the 95-96 hood will fit the 97.

they hood looked real good though. the carbon fiber had 3 spots where it was a little messed up. one spot towards the middle was pretty bad. it was noticable in all lights. i probably would have sent it back either way but they look real cool. i have pictures somewhere let me see if i have any in my email since im not at my place...
