first off, I worn anyone that you will need a roll cage if you ever do roll in the VX(even a soft roll such as mine was). The VX could not take a hard roll and you would be the egg or eggs if you had passengers.
second, that hood on this Rally VX looks just like the stock hood just with the hood insert removed. If anyone wanted to see for yourselves, just remove your hood insert(really easy with like a 10 or 12 mm wrench, I belive).
After being in the MArines for 8 years and living in Mainland Japan, Okinawa, Thailand, Australia, and Kuwait and having many MArines shipping cars...I know it would be way easier to ship (import/Export) this Rally VX as a race car verses as a POV in which many requirements such as more reinforcement is required in the frame and structure, proper lighting, and a R/L conversion..etc....
