CF hood pic request

Okay I think the time has come for a carbon fiber hood. But I want/need a vented one. Heck the LNF should come stock with a vented hood.

Im tired of opening my hood and a burst of heat shooting at me similiar to opening the oven when cooking up some protein!

Only "affordable" hood I can find is this ugly one....but im willing to settle since it seems to vent. Anyone got "more" pictures of this one on a SS. I dont want to see it on a base model....makes me hate it more...LOL

This one looks good but tooooo pricey

I would love a SS style hood but they too are too expensive. Im on a budget here. Getting a house next month and i really shouldnt get a hood....but dam my LNF is begging for one

I had the SS style, besides OEM I think its the only other one I would use. Was never a fan of the vented ones.

Out of two you posted I have seen the first on a balt, just too much going on with it. The 2nd one I saw on another, it looked the best out of the two.

this one was on my car when I got it. It's a little "busy" but it has grown on me. I still need to scrape off the "supercharged" letters

^LOL

Okay i do agree the OEM carbon fiber hood looks the best.....but im planning to do this hood swap to benefit the car and help let the LNF breath. Man it gets hot under that hood. Im telling u its like a freaking oven.

I also agree the first one i posted seems like there is too much going on with it....not simple...but it seems the best hood to help vent and let hot air out instead of trapped under a stock metal hood.

RKsport is just toooooooo expensive. Does that SS style hood provide a good venting effect? And is it only available through Rksport?
