I like the look of the OEM hoods much better. Too much going on with this one. Not to mention you won't get much (if any) weight reduction.

I agree, especially if it's an HR model.

As everybody else says, I like the OEM. But I am a much bigger fan of the OEM hoods on the HR Z's. I plan on swapping my 03 hood with a newer one eventually

Your car is not modded enough to run that hood, wait until you have more mods and it will go better

Not a fan of hood scoops/cutouts in a non functioning place, like that center scoop. If u have a LS swap I could make sense of it

I also like my carbon hood. It really comes down to what do YOU like, you have to drive it.
