Yeah man, I want that Monster hood but, it's never in stock. I would buy it right now if I could find it anywhere, especially @450.

I like the vented one. It looks good and does let more heat escape.

that vent looks useless.....go oem style unless ur pushin the power to warrant a vented hood.....

i'd go oem and get it paint matched but that's just my opinion. good luck with your decision.

the only hood with holes in it i'd get is the mugen style. with the slits on the sides with some black mesh underneath

mugen style or oem. the vented one looks weird.

I think the vented looks cool, but i wouldn't put it on because I think it would appeal to too many ricers. "Sweet hood bro, we should race!" :mrolleyes:

I voted for oem..:mtongue:

I voted for vented, but that was before I saw the hood you were looking at. I say either OEM or Mugen rep.

i think if you have a front lip then get vented, since it makes the car look more aggresive, but if you dont have a lip then get oem cf
