I love the style but it's made by some company I've never heard of (C-wings). I'm debating whether or not to get one. It costs $610 shipped. Can someone recommend a better vented hood?

Probably very efficient but way to ugly! ($299 at www.aerokits.net)
Personally I like the one from VIS... and then there is always these...

seen those hoods on Craigslist several times. the big problem is that they do not use UV protected epoxy so the hoods don't last..

I have that one, the cooling from just the passenger side vent removed is a significant notice.

You have this one?


How does it fit? Do you have any pics of it installed on the FC?
