+1, the Asuka CF Hood is beautiful and I think that you would be very happy with that choice.

I'm not sure why you keep saying Mastergrade venom hood and Asuka hood is a replica. They aren't replica's or anything. The only thing from Mastergrade you would call a replica would be the TS diffuser and MAYBE the AMS hood, but the AMS hood vents ended up being much larger then the Amuse.



I vote for Asuka or Ing+1

Here's a couple pics I promised of the Ings hood. It's authentic. Fitment was very good, but not perfect. And, it was a real PITA to make work with my Carbing strut bar! Anyway, we finished late last night, so I just took these 2 pics. I'll get some better ones soon:

^ looks great. I love that middle vent. I would paint the mesh black or remove it IMO.

Thanks for the compliment!

Yeah, 3 of the mesh sections are out already. I'm thinking of removing them altogether, and having them all powdercoated flat black. Then I could decide whether or not I want to use them.

it's time consuming I know, but at this stage in the cars lifecycle there are tons of pics posted of a wide variety of hoods on this site, other Z sites, and throughout the web. Spend a couple hours searching, you'll find plenty of pics of owners cars from around the world

I think I'm going to end up going with the Mastergrade. I can't find any other hoods that I like out there. I'm too picky

It's not going downhill, people just keep asking the same ****ing questions over and over again. Not to mention the amount of people that want somebody of this forum to build their car for them. What exhaust should I get? What hood should I get? What color should my wheels be? Blah Blah Blah.
