Bummer. I know those parts exist because Terry was selling the
hoods as non functional, functional, and functional with an air box.
I ordered mine as a functional hood which means it had the cutout,
but I didn't order the air box because I was planning to make my
own. In retrospect, I probably should have spent the $80 for the
airbox but I was too cheap. I'll get around to building one eventually.
:-) I did get as far as making a cardboard prototype which I used
for about a year at the track - and the airbox was good for another
tenth or two.
So, I guess the upside is that even if Keystone doesn't want to sell
them as functional hoods, you should be able to make them functional
because they were designed to be so. (Unless Keystone has changed the
design of course, but it doesn't seem likely that they would go through
all the effort to change the molds for a product that needs no changes.)

That's true, I can always just make one up my self. The one Terry had was nice because he had already set it up for the correct height and you just needed a k&n filter kit or even another brand. I guess if I go that route I can always get the measurements from one of you guys who have the current hood for the opening underneath to get the right amount of opening. Not sure if I would buy from keystone though since their price when I last looked into it was a bit high. One thing though, if someone made a steel cowl hood for the Gen II like they do for the Gen III I would be all over it.
