I was going to buy a Varis Carbon hood, but they are made to order and have a very long wait time.
The main reason to buy this Spec-C alloy hood is the weight reduction over the standard steel one. The listing shows the weight as 15.9kg, but this is the shipping weight as the bare hood actually only weighs 8.2kg (no duct or other parts), which is lighter than I expected, and less than half the weight of the steel one. Obviously once the duct, shroud and other parts are fitted it be heavier but it will still be much lighter than the standard hood, and comparable to the weight of a carbon hood, maybe 1kg heavier.
Fit and finish are of course perfect since it was made in the Subaru factory presses.
The hood arrived in perfect condition in a very large cardboard box. I was expecting it to be in bare alloy, but it is finished in black primer, with seam sealer applied ready to be painted.

Removal of the old hood and the installation of this one is a 2 or 3 person operation, otherwise you risk damaging the hood the car or yourself.
