Looking for a new hood, and was just wondering on every ones opinion based on aesthetics, Fitment, durability, etc

In my humble opinion, carbon fiber hoods do not look good

I think the Autokits hood looks the best, along with the OEM style CF hood from Seibon.

^^^^ Thanx!! That's my old car, I did the test fit for Alex@ autokits for that hood. I LOVED it, the make this for the sedan now, been debating on getting it again.

I have a hard time coughing up that kind of money on something that has zero functional benefit and is only slightly aesthetically pleasing, as the difference in hood weight is minimal.

If I had the extra cash to spend, I've eye'd the one on the first car a couple times.

Unless your hood is already in need of replacement, I wouldn't drop that much on one of those

so the the CF hood weighs only slightly less than the OEM hood?
maybe I should just modify my OEM hood and put vents in it lol

When I looked online, the weight difference varied person to person, but seems like its around 5-8lbs.

Our Aluminum hoods are very light.

Yep - As long as those vents are fully functional

you guys have any ideas on good looking vents to put in the OEM hood? I am pretty new to the scene and only started modding my car because I recently finished with payments this year lol

I think the GTR vents look pretty cool on the Gs

Yea they look simple yet stylish, I think I will get those instead on my hood. thanks for all the suggestions :]

i think painting a CF hood matched to your car everywhere except the vents looks great. I plan on it eventually.


Any of those above except #2 look great but I really love the Outcast Garage one.

^ I agree. Outcast Garage has some on their website and they are pretty aggressive with pricing.
