Looks like it was custom fabricated. Not to many 3rd party choices out there. Still waiting for CF hood.

Looks like a stock hood with some $2 universal vents glued to it with some completely unnecessary hood pins. Probably stick on also, i've seen them at your crappy local parts store.

Its because of the depth of view, either shot at a really really long focal length or photoshopped to blur the fore and background. I WANT THOSE HEADLIGHTS

I want the whole kit besides the hood but I know that hood probably functions so much better than the stock.

Not for 1st gen's. I am talking about actually SHIPPING a product to USA.

Not some guy making a hood then posting a picture of it.. that's not a production retail product. There is no one where I can click a button right now and buy and then have shipped to my house a CF 1st gen hood.

YMMV, but to me those "vents" look like somebody glued plastic hotdogs to the hood.

Totally wrong for the streamlined look of the rest of the car.

Hood pins... on the back edge?

I do kinda like the headlights, though.

You can get the same effect using a relatively slow film (or imager) and a wide-open iris, which cuts the depth-of-field way down. Neutral filter helps, too.

Those are "louver" style hood vents.. Check your local newstand for Rodding magazines and they should have an ad for them there.
Hotroders use louvers in many places for venting. You could order the louvers and have them installed by a compitent bodyshop.
They don't stick up that far but the venting of heat should be good.

Isn't it great when you try to do something for SA/FB owners only get shat on continiously, end up being in debt and further behind the 8ball compared to when you started
