I have a Cervini hood. It required very little fitting.

I have heard a lot of stories about the tru-fiber hoods requiring a lot of work to get fitted properly.

I would imagine the ram air would still work with the CAI since it's directing air over the stock air box location. However, if you don't opt for the ram air piece under the hood you'll have two open ports to your engine bay. Makes for a lot of engine cleaning, trust me!

Water management may also be a problem with an open cone.
