How many SC members like this hood?


I am going to either try and buy or get this one made or should I buy an OEM CF hood from Seibon?

If your car has a kit already yes.
If not, go oem.

I like both but this one has that sporty feal!! I am deciding to go with the AC Sides and rear and the Phenix Team Target Front cause I have a large FMIC and want it to show with a big mouth in the Front bumper and I have the Vertex 25mm fenders and am working on rounding out the rear ones to maybe 35mm or making new ones with 35mm extra with sheet metal!

I like it for some reason.......
Mine made it through its 2nd winter w/ a vented hood, without any issues...But im in Nor Cal....
My only concern is, I noticed that youre in Washington...., If the SC is a daily driver , it seems like it may rain too much there for a vented hood?

Vented looks good if you have the kit to match which most likely its not a daily. But like "CantSeeMe" said weather is the major factor for a daily it can cause some issues.

OEM looks the same as a regular hood but its good for looks not much but the purpose and function is fine for daily use.
