Yep, watch them hood supports. I just had my insert off AGAIN this weekend cleaning out the drains and thought about how flexible the hood would get without them. I would go for something more along the lines of the center if possible. Unless, you can make the cut without losing the supports. I dunno, never reallt thought about it. I am hoping N1 gets well soon and finds the urge to jump back into the VX mixing bowl. Them Evo inserts and WRX style scoops gave me quite the woody.
