Took me a long time to decide who to purchase a hood from. I was torn between VIS and AIT B-Magic. I decided last night to purchase the AIT R1 Hood. I hope it was a good choice.

 

I like the vents on the side.. thats all i want if i ever buy a CF hood. I am not a fan boy of the evo though.

 

id get one if it just had the vents on the sides.

 

Thats all I wanted as well but could not find one.

 

That's the hood I'm getting...Let us know how the fitment goes

 

subd to see pics on your car

 

Sorry, but i don't like it at all.

It's your car, and props to you.

 

your car so props but....dont like it

 

One thing I did like about this hood is there are panels that cover all of the extractor plates for bad weather. This will be a summer only hood and eventually I will probably have it painted SRTC.

 

yummmmmmmmmm honeycomb sandwich

 

people still do this, i thought this was a late 90's thing?

 

yeah i will be interested in seeing some pics when you get it on

 

i want to see pics thats a nice hood i wanted to get that but im gonna go with oem style hood

 

Yeah.....I will post up some pics after I put it on. I don't expect to put it on until May unless the weather gets much nicer here in PA......way too much snow this year for my liking.

 

i run my cf hood year round

 

ive been debating on whether to get a cf hood or not. i rear ended someone like 2 weeks after i bought my car, so my hood has been dented ever since.. so yeah. i think im going to though, nothing crazy like that though, just the stock one

 

I like it but kind of feel its a teenish look. Hope you don't take that wrong. I just really liked this look back in high school. Now I like the cleaner look a lot more. Personal preference more than anything. If you like it thats what matters.

 

i painted part of mine to make it feel tied into the car more, i like it MUCH more now

after

 

I was gonna get the AIT hood. Its a nice hood if you have the supporting looking to go with it.

But I just liked the suncoast hood much better. So I had it made in CF.

 

even has sandwich technology

 

Love this hood!!

 

No offense taken......I felt the same way as well about the hood. I was pretty close to purchasing the OEM Style VIS hood. But with my mods and the price versus price of both style hoods I elected to purchase the R1. So there will be a 48 year old male at the car shows with a teenish looking cobalt ss/sc.

I like the functionality option (as the extractors can be covered with panels) to help cool things down a bit more, even while sitting.

 

Looks great. I will probably highlight the some of the raised portions of the hood with SRTC.

 

that will look ****. post pics if you do!

 

they need to make a cf hood like this because every cf hood out for the cobalt imo is garbage. except the oem style one.
