New 2g CF Hood available, need honest opinion...

[GreenDragon_Gst]

alright every1, I was surfing ebay and found this. With the way the vent is on the front, it looks like it can fit the turbo model quite nicely, and it seems like it's pretty functional. I just wanted to know what every1 thought about it. here is one pick, but here is a link to some others.

i second that.... get the OEM style carbon fiber hood

 

[InfamousEclipse]

The dual hump looks much cleaner IMO and is it more functional?

 

[jimwross]

I like that hood alot, it looks like an invader style mixed with some predator scoops. Nice.

I like the rice though....

 

[Lunch_Box]

I don't like the look of it. I like the OEM style carbon fiber hoods, why would you ever want to lose the speed hump?

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

i personally don't like it i have an OEM CF hood.

 

[justincredible]

Hood look okay, good thing it has the turbo clearence also. Need more pics though

 

[boostineklipz]

pretty ugly IMO

 

[GreenDragon_Gst]

yea, oddly enough, I kinda like it too, but I also do enjoy a good bowl of RICE every now and again, as long as u can back up the look...

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

oem style cf hood is the best.. IMO

 

[dave99gst]

id like to see it painted

 

[SnoopySLR]

I think it looks cool. I've never seen a hood like that before. Looks like it would vent hot air better than the Extreme GT.

 

[Raph]

did u guys notice the R33 style front on the first picture?

 

[cait sith]

Ass and poo.

 

[GreenDragon_Gst]

yea, screw it... oem cf is better, gotta respect the cam-hump...

 

[MmmDeion]

"The bump in my hood means Im happy to see ya"...

That quote wont work when its not an OEM hood...

 

[dsmnate]

I like the style I have the best out of all the CF hoods and it is very functional to let heat out of the engine bay since the vent are almost directly above the turbo...

What front end is that... car looks awesome.

 

[GreenDragon_Gst]

that's the stillen front, right?

 

[KlipzSpyderGST]

Yeah its the Stillen front, and on the Hood, I would definitly stick to the OEM style CF hoods. But whatever works!

Thanks

It's a Stillen Front with a VIS Extreme GT Hood.

I can't wait until after this winter when a nice FMIC is filling that gap in the front

Hood vents are not functional unless you have air ducts coming directly from the radiator. The radiator is what cools your engine!
