Please don't get a flashy hood if your car doesn't have any other mods...

"upgrade" may not be the correct word in this thread. Maybe "swap" or "change" would be more appropriate?

Yes - Quality is average to below average in my opinion (think they may have ran too many out of mold), top is wavy while the bottom has a few small surface fractures/cracks. Having said that, it is a decent looking hood and the only one I've seen that don't require hood pins...all OEM hood components swap right over.
