Default Which Hood???

Hello. I have been searching all over for a certain type of carbon fiber hood. the one with lines going down to the middle of the high-low headlights. Ive seen it on a bright green GS a while ago but cant find the thread. Anyone know what im talking about.

Yes i believe it was a vented hood. But the difference from other vented hoods was that it had "grooves" going down in between the lights

Yes it is the veilside hood I was trying to look for. thank you. does anyone know of any hoods out there with out the vent but with the grooves? I really like the groves but the vent is too much for the clean look im going for.

Is it the one that DaveGS4 has? I believe his is vented and has the extra dips/grooves in the hood flowing towards the headlights...
