The price range of both are completely different. The kit will most likely be double or even triple cost of a hood. Wouldn't be better to decide something based on a price range?

I say the kit only because the kit will change the apearance of the entire car not just the front. If you have the money, go with the kit

OK this is how you should play it:

1) Rims
2) Exhaust+Extractors
3) CAI
4) Body Kit
5) Sound System
6) Bonnet

This is what I Personally Think, Hope This Helps "Brotha"

most likely you are going for looks for the hood. And if you are going for looks, kit is the better choice.

I hope you know that the first picture you posted IS NOT the Nismo v.2 kit. So if thats what you think it looks like then get the hood, because you're not into the kit enough to even post the right pic.
