A-keep oem hood
B-oem HR hood
C-vis:HR style cf w vents
Which one to do?
Keep the smooth looks w the HR?
Cf w vents to extract heat -but too aggressive setup?
Or oem DE hood currently? (kinda out of list)

shoulda kept that seibon ts hood you had a while back!! but from these choices i like the vented hr hood the best. maybe have it painted and leave some carbon fiber accents on the vents?

Thats sold unfortunately. I like this HR-style more. I have the HR oem one that's smb. Wondering if I shoud spend the moola or get the cf one. That's where I'm at.

Thx waizz. Idk what in the world I was thinking about the post. So tired.
But I am FI-no tracking. Does help w heat regardless. I'm leaning on just doing the Oe HR-color matched for the moment. I'm iffy w fitment also on the CF.

So after 2 weeks of dealing w a slackass from carolina paint and body (I will never go to again), the hood hasn't even been touched. Oh has it pissed me off--so I figured it out myself and she will be on the car today. Only 1/2 day of work and shes gona be on. Ill prob spray the entire front sprayed to blend it in since I have enough B17 left(front end/fenders). Later on I'll spray the entire car after I decide on what to do w body parts. Be back w pics.

On the ride----curious if I should color match the air duct and mold that or leave alone. W the gold wheels now I'm not feeling any other colors on it and want a smooth look.
