I totally understand and respect the concept and reasoning for carbon fiber hoods, but they just don't do it for me asthetically. To me it looks like you got a new hood from the junkyard and don't have enough money to get it painted!
Should be interesting to see how many people actually get this.

Damn, VQ. I think you're the one who finds EVERYTHING for this car! 
Not a CF hood fan, especially since we'll already have aluminum, but I'm sure several other people with like it.
Keep up the good work!

i like how on the debut of thier product dspeed screws up the naming on the part
and labels it as for a z32
check it out
other than that i like cf hoods.. but i really really wish they'd give us an inverted duct like on the others. i really like the look of the vanes going down into the engine bay

Looks like all of those listed are the same price.

dude, when I start seeing CF hoods on 911s, 360s and diablos, I will pay more attention, but as long as I keep seeing them on civics with 100lbs of extra unmatched body kits and wings, I will pass (in other words it is ALL about the LOOK and not the purpose).

Actually, I was looking for a jdm C/F hood that might have three or four vents on top to keep my motor running cool. But since I can't find one, I decided to go for a regular jdm vented C/F hood But the problem is that here in Miami we sometimes get $hity weather so I need one that has the vent somewhere B/W the radiator and the motor. I would just hate to have water in the engine bay and getting suck up by the filter causing Hydro-lock.
