I've not seen them in person, but I always hear that you have to cut a huge chunk out of your hood to get those aerocatches in there.

Of course. It's really the only down side I see to them but than again big hole, small hole, it's still a hole in your hood.

I suppose that's true. My worry with them is installing.

When you drill a hole, you can't really make it "crooked" where as cutting the shape out for the aero's...with it being elongated and all, there's a greater opportunity for operator error. I suppose that's why one would have a pro do it.

I do think thy look slick though.

Ron Leonard (Spydershaft) has them and they look pretty nice I met him at the track last year.
Cutting a hole in your own hood could be tough to swallow if it's wrong! These I don't think I would hesitate paying a pro to do.

Kind of hard to see in this pic.

As it is in carpentry I guess. Measure twice, cut once.

I think they have them installed on their Vanquished SEMA car. I'll try to get out there this week and see if I can get some pics of them on a car. If I like them, I might even buy them and install them on mine. Will be a few weeks though but if I do, I'll post some pics.

Interesting options. One appears way too large in my opinion. Is no one making a version close to what is on the Shelby KR or the old Shelbys? That would be ideal in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure they do the Shelby ones in Black as well as silver...
