The 3S-GTE fits under a stock hood with no problems. It just retains more heat than the GT4 hood.

It works, but my gte needed 1.5" spacers on the hinges and trimming of the webbing underneath to clear the intercooler and intake box properly. otherwise you'll be rubbing and scraping stuff This post has been edited by enderswift: Dec 17, 2013 - 2:21 PM --------------------  |
