I must agree, that stripped down look looks great and with the 3.7L engine it will be a real Q-car...

I don't think you'll regret the decision at all.
I had a few weeks with a 4/4 with the old style hood. It wasn't that much longer to put up and looked FAR better when the hood was down.
If I could re-order mine, I'd be really 50/50 on which hood.
My dealer did tell me that if I ever want to sell the car it will be more difficult to sell with the old style hood. I can’t say I am convinced about this - but anyway, want’s the point of buying a car based on what someone else wants
