yah I really like that hood

I posted it a long time ago and everyone gave me crap about how I didnt need it and the stock one is light if not as light as that one :?


I still like that hood and as far as the front mount I think I finally talked myself out of it for maybe somehting more usefull like a new clutch and flywheel

That hood might actually look pretty sweet if it was painted to match the car... (or installed on a black car).


...JC must be wearing off on me.

I'm with ya...

And yeah, that hood painted would look sweet...I liked that show car you posted way back...I think it was silver and looked cool with that hood...I would only consider a hood change if I went to a FM.

Agreed. What I really want is a direct replacement CF hood that used the stock scoop and vents... only because I won't have to paint it right away like an aluminum hood would need.

Huge vents + stainless mesh = fugly.

Um, I'm pretty sure the stainless won't look too stainless after it's painted.

But nobody's posted pics of one painted. Therefore the Seibon hood is still ugly as image tagged in this thread.

And I still want the VIS hood like th coupe got... that was pretty damn nice.

Why because you want to paint your body parts?
