Turbo hood or NA hood?

What do you guys think? I used to be dead set on a turbo hood on every rx7 I own. But lately I have been liking the clean lines of the NA hood. Also I have noticed I like the turbo hood with different color cars more so than with other color cars. My new project is a pristine red 89 GTU that will replace my 86. Let me know your thoughts and answer the poll as well please.

Unless you have a top mount intercooler I see no point to the turbo hood.

Vert hood. Aluminum. Turbo II hoods should be kept to Turbo II's, never really liked the offset scoop.

I have a turbo hood on my 20b car but it is mostly because the car is a TII and the hood gave me extra clearance for the engine.

In think for this car I will just leave the steel n.a. hood on and see how I like it. If I do I will have to try to repaint the aluminum n.a. hood i have to to match.
