Default Which CF Hood?

I am looking at getting a new Seibon CF hood for my Z. I am torn between the VT style which is the Veilside V2 knockoff and the TSII which is the TopSceret knockoff. Which hood should I get? Please vote in the poll. Just an FYI, I have the Veilside V3 body kit. One of the reasons I am trying to use to justify spending more money is because I have the Vortech SC and the underhood temps are horrible after a little wild driving. 2 of the pix below are of my car with the front bumper and OEM hood.

TIA,
Zach

I have the VT...I love it. Fits perfectly. I suggest it to you for 2 reasons:

1. You already have the VS v.3 full kit. It would match the VS theme. BTW the VT hood is a copy of the v.3 hood, not v.2. the v.2 hood is the VS from Seibon.

2. I like how the VT has absolutely no part of it that bulges up. All the holes and vents are indented IN, which keeps the smooth flowing lines of the Z, while adding a different look. So to me it's a perfect oxymoron - subtly wild.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

I love the carbon fiber look and those engine temps can kill performance in our cramped little engine bays. Which one is which? I like the second hood. I'm definately getting this hood for myself for christmas!

I like the VT hood, reminds me of the 280Z Turbo... at least I think that's the one.

Not true. Seibon doesn't make a knockoff of a veilside v2 hood. I'll post pics of mine very soon.

I meant the V3 knock off. A friend of mine has the VS V2 hood.

Just an FYI... The hood on the far left is the TSII while the one to the right of it is the VT.

I would go with the VT... I have been trying to get one for well over a month now...
It appears to be out of stock all over the country and Seibon has messed up by not delivering enough to the US... I can't wait to get mine, but guess I do not have a chance to get it before the STS in Richmond on the 12th

If you know where you can get one delivered this week I would love to hear it Zach.
