Got the hood from Island motorsports in buena park, ca
paid 589.00 plus tax
not the cheapest but they got the hood in one day and made me happy

what do you guys think??
I wanted to paint it red but I may leave it carbon fiber

 

I just don't get this whole fascination with carbon fiber... and the stock hood is fine IMO. The only thing I would want is some vent to decrease the heat in the engine bay, but I have not seen any aftermarket hood that I'd really like.

But as long you like yours, that's all what matters

 

I like it alot, I would have painted it to match the car. But I like the styling it is one of the only hoods I like.

 

I like it too! How much lighter it is compared to the stock hood? Could you also please take some (hopefully bigger) picture outside?

 

I would leave it, you spent the money for CF, show it off. IMO red looks pretty good with the CF hood.

Bigger pictures outside the garage...

 

Mike,

No worries! Looking good! Leave the CF, but i would have the mesh painted black..

 

I want that exact same hood...at least now I know what it looks like on a velocity....congrats

 

Leave it CF....it looks good

 

Leave it CF, paint the hoods black, and then give it to me!

Beautiful. Could you please take some full car pictures with more lighting?

 

Looks good. Looks like you've finally seen the carbon fiber hood light!

 

Dazygirl has this same hood ordered for her V/R..... cool!

 

Leave it CF Mike, looks really sharp

 

It does look good on red.

I'm waiting for someone to sell the fiberglass version of either the TS-II hood or the new vis racing razor hood. I just need the vented option, no need for CF.

 

Paint it red. Maybe it's because you resized the pics, but those vent meshes look terrible. Paint them or ditch them.

 

agree with Adrian-!, the vis racing razor hood (similar to the r-magic) looks awesome and allows for heat dissappation for those of us who need/want a cooler engine bay.

dd sends...

 

Looks great. Take some pictures in the day time!

 

im not a fan of the mesh either but it would look good if painted in black

 

It's interesting, the cf is really just fibreglass wrapped in a layer of cf with a big fat price tag. You would think they would offer the fibreglass version at the same time.

 

thanks for all the comments
I will take more pics tomorrow
and Im not sure what color to paint the mesh but probably i will do black

 

can you ditch the mesh?

 

I think you could ditch the mesh but then to me it would look unfinished or like it has holes not vents

the mesh is kinda loud looking and painting it black will help tone it down

not to mention by k&N intake is twice as loud now

 

leave it CF mike. looks great. morever, i dont think CF can be painted though.

i just wonder u don have grill mesh on your MS bumper

 

I do have black mesh on my ms front

and cf can be painted-- may mintblue spoiler was cf and I painted it red

 

finally got the hood Very nice. How is the weight compared to stock?

 

the hood seems lighter but Im sure not by much

I love the way it looks though
