Oh yes , it work better than the stock one , i had lot of fuel cut with the CF hood in cold weather condition , no fuel cut with the stock hood , so that why a bought the Full control flash from CP-E ( fuel cut fix ) , just one problem about the fitment ,i have the ETS intercooler so the hood doesn't sit perfect , i have installed hood pins for safety . I know it's not the better idea for the look but i prefer my hood down (bowdown) , if you want a picture let me know ...
