Ummm.... Wouldn't a real vented hood have... you know... actual vents?

This thing just has two indents in the middle of the hood.

To fussy for my taste.

I was seein the same thing Justified... At first it looked like he tried to chop a vent to one side just by erasing the part of the indent, but its just the glare...

I think it looks more dented than vented. I think it's pretty ugly

I wish someone would make a replica of the mugen hood. I think it is priced over $1500.

Hey Hamlet that S2000 looks very familiar, and so does the location. Who's ride is that and where was the pic taken? Just curious 'cause it looks like one of my buddies.

actually, it's a silver EP with black wheels.. but maybe if you're driving really fast and there's a glare and you're breathing the air anywhere around my brother (usually THC toxic), then maybe it looks white...

and yes, that's docofmind aka sherwin aka the king of brakezone..

wish i could hang out with all the car people in cali, but i'll be driving x-country to NYC next week... so the silver EP gets to drive through potholes for the next few years..

how come the mugen hoood cost so much? is it lighter in anyway? only different from our stock hood is that it has that two things on the sides.

mugens hood is so expensive because it is mugen and it is imported from japan. There may be other slight differences from a look alike but not very much.

interesting hood. I dont think the design will be very popular. I think for the money, people will rather pay 300 bucks for an OEM hood than for one with indentations.

I think the hood is alright, it'd be better if it was actually vented. I wouldn't get it though because I've had a bad history with my friend's Integra and APC parts. Generally, they are crap.

It looks cool to me. Kind of agressive. I would just take a dremel to the indented parts nearest the windshield, you know? then put a mini grill on it :-) haha yeah!

but it's cool

please dont buy anything from APC....theyve single handedly done more damage to the import scene than any other company out there. they jumped in bringing with them herds of racer wannabe jackasses who in turn drove the piss out of near-stock cars under the impression that they were the "street racing underground". hundreds of thousands of pairs of taillights flooded ebay and poured out and polluting the very fountain from which we once quenched our thirst for life.........seemingly harmless parts(tails,wings,mufflers,shiftknobs) turned bad drivers into wreckless maniacs ingaging in 120mph pissing contests on crowded freeways taking the lives of not only themselves but others....into theyre own shakey untrained hands. and for what? bragging rights???? stories for the next "meet" in the pepboys parkinglot????? APC is not only guilty of shotty products that lack style, function, fit and finish but also of the crimes just stated. please dont support them......especially not theyre new line of "drift" parts.....turn away from the bright orange paint, its not one of signal's cars yoru looking at its apc's... the same company that brought you leaky tailights and neon kits. they cant be trusted........dont turn you back and please for the love of god dont give in.

Mugen look alike? Check out visracing.com & extremediminsions.com. That's where i'm getting mine. paying about $350 for it and that includes shipping. But i also have some buddies getting theirs at the same time so we all split the S&H costs :0)
