Cool vented hood

I was browsing the Yahoo Japan Auctions and noticed this hood. It's about 500 bucks, but would probably cost and arm and a leg to ship, and probably wouldn't come in one piece:

btw, LOTS of cool stuff on those auctions......... Just search SA22C

Lots of seat brackets to mount recaro, bride, sparco ect.

WOW! You know I usually don't like vented hoods on the SA or FB, but this one looks really cool. I would definitely sport that

I've seen one like this, or similar that was painted to match the car......... It looked great. I'm with you, not a big fan of vented hoods but I like this style. This one kinda looks like it might have metal pieces built into it for the stock hood brackets but it's too hard to tell.

thats the kind of hood I've been looking for. I'm not going to shell out $1K to buy it and have it shipped here though.

See, that's the style of hood vent I like. I've actually been brainstorming recently about adding a simple drop vent to a stock hood.

I bought two home ventilation vents from RONA (Canadian Lowe's) for about $30. I plan to rivet them into my hood to help duct hot air out and eliminate or reduce lift at high speed.
