The CF SS hood if you plan on leaving the wing in CF.... Or get then VFN SS hood and do the Manta scoop in CF, paint the whole spoiler except for the width of the manta scoop. Now that would look sick!

I like the sunoco hood but you cant go wrong with any of your options. Just not carbon fiber, please paint it.

That carbon fiber is going to look like **** in a couple years unless you put the right clear coat on it. And I agree unfinished carbon fiber looks like **** on light colors. But it's your car so I have no idea why you are asking people on a forum what to get instead of getting the hood you like.

Because when you ask a question you get other points of views you might not have thought about yourself. As the title says I LIKE all three myself. Im not sure what one I want though so I posted hoping to get feedback as why others would get one. I have already heard a few good ideas about painting the hood a certin way ect. That is why I posted a thread Speed Demon! You understand now?

my vote is none of the above. i'd go with a normal fiberglass SS hood. i don't like the look of unpainted CF and the other 2 hoods are way too big.

At least you understand Tony, sometimes i wonder why some are *** holes, but hey if they live there lives confused and bitter what ever. And Tony i like the sunoco hood its just to small for my taste, im a big wild paint wild motor and wild hood kind of guy. As i stated in my first post that some must not have read is that i like ALL 3 of these hoods in there own way. Im going with the 3 SS and going to do a wicked skull and flame on it. Ill post Pics in 2 months when its finished. The hood takes like 4-6 weeks and thats going to kill me waiting that long
