In other word the hood is not going to reflect anything useful unless it is electrically connected to antenna system.
BTW I might be wrong about scratching paint for antenna connection. At least on my radio Ground wire is electrically...
Just received my rail after almost 3 months of wait. Yeah it is great product. Worth the money.

I’m glad that I waited for mine;)

Got it. So charger itself is a 20mm. I really like that setup. If you can share the link for that product it would be awesome. Looks like TacForm has so many options...
Thanks for the info. Apparently this item is on back order with unknown eta.

Thanks for sharing this. Im trying to order from the same place, and they put my order on-hold and asking for VIN. I this common? I don’t really share VIN with online stores. Did you have the seme experience with your order? Or it was just shipped without any issues?
