    08 Xk Hood

    While replacing my plugs today my friend Matt and I realized that my hood is not magnetic. So maybe this is why it is not good for a ground plane..

    Yup, its aluminum. And like the firestik website says, aluminum is equivalent to fiberglass when it comes to "ground plane".

    Steve..... you're a genius! !!
