What style c/f hood...

[jjgrizz73]

Hey guys I wanted to get some opinions for a c/f hood on my 97 spyder. It's body is staying stock so I think a radical hood would look silly. Right now the only things done exterior wise are black 18's, headlights, suttle stuff like that and it's lowered. So what kind of hood style do you think looks best? I know its all personal pref. but some opinions dont hurt...thanks alot

Pics of your car and hoods you're looking at always helps

 

[jjgrizz73]

Heres my eclipse...I'll post some of the hoods too...

 

[jjgrizz73]

Here are two, and I was also thinking about the OEM hood. Of course, there are some others I dont have pics of saved so I didnt post them

^^^ I'm not a big fan of these types of hoods. Just seems like to much shit would get in the engine bay and you would have to clean it all the time.

 

[jjgrizz73]

Well I don't think it'd be much of a problem in the 1st hood (invader style) but def. would in the second style. Of course OEM style is also a possibility but I thought something other than oem would give it alittle more look while still keeping it clean

I vote OEM. The more I see some of the vented ones, the more I like the stock look.

I personally love the hump and a lot of hoods get rid of it.

yeah thats a pretty nice hood but I'm not a big fan of it actually on the car. OEM does look the cleanest IMO too but i like that invader style too

 

[Black95awd]

OEM Style FTW!

OEM style and a wingless cf trunk would be sweet.

 

[turbosax2]

I vote OEM. The more I see some of the vented ones, the more I like the stock look.

+1 - with a Carbontrix vent

damn, the OEM hood with the new c/f trunk that just came out would be sweet looking...might be time to break out some credit cards

OEM style and a wingless cf trunk would be sweet.

+1 OEM gets my vote.

Go with the oem style cf hood. Love that 2g bump

 

[mitsumikey]

OEM! or nothin maybe a cf trunk too

Here's ours, It's from Bill Deft Racing.

 

[Superfly4943]

without a body kit definitely go with the OEM cf hood, it'll look better.

Not a fan of putting other style hoods(OEM style) on vehicles that are not even from the same brand... I dont think the SS Camaro style hood looks bad in quality, just not right on an Eclipse.

 

[TrboANTsi]

oem cf hood. clean and simple plus it would be easier to sell in the future.

 

[kittay]

Personally, I agree OEM is secks!!
But other then that, I love the invader hood (The first one you posted) I sported that on the Laser for a while. Made it look mean
