Ok, So it is a no on the black hood.

I keep forgetting my car is closely related to rice burners. I am still use to muscle car look.

I really don't want to spend money on a CF hood, plus I really don't like the way they look (in japan they paint their CF). Instead of spending money on that, I could always upgrade something else on the car (injectors or front mount).

So for now I will stick with the stock red

I am surprise on the opinion of the hood vent though. When I was thinking of that, I was thinking more of the usefullness of it because when I was at a rally race all the DSM cars had them. You could see the heat coming from the hood when they were at a time stop. I would think they would help the underhood temp. Also another reason I went with the first picture instead of DIY is because in the rain i could see all the water run down that little vent from the hood.

Anyway sorry for the bad taste of hoods.

I won't paint it!
