Looks good. Any chances they make it for FD's or better yet any other styles available for FD's
Do they have a Web site?

I just think it would look out of place... Our cars are so smooth and seem to flow very nicely, then WHAM! here comes not one, not two, not even three or four, but FIVE vents? I think it's overdone.

too many pointless vents.
you've got 2 coming out the back in the middle over the intake manifold... one on that one... one above the exhaust manifold that has no aerodynamic functionality what so ever... then one over on the battery side out in space..... Can you say RICE?
I grafted a vent into my hood directly over the air filter so I can make an air box which might actually get me a ram air effect out of the deal. I could understand making some down lower in the front to pull hot air out of the radiator, or maybe way at the back of the hood to do the same for the whole engine bay, but all those little holes in the middle need to go.

I like it, very nice.
Id be happy to test fit it on my car and take tons of pictures, but I do not live in Orange county.

It looks ok....however i would like to see if those vents are actually functional.....if its not then its useless....the knightsport and RE hoods are functional so those will get my vote over this one.....

The vent on the driver's (US) side is an 'oil-filler cap cooling vent'. The one in the middle of the reverse hood scoop is an 'alternator/water pump cooling vent'. Very important at high speed, everyone who races knows that!! 
i would say its kinda over done...stay with the stock t2 hood...
that fackind blue FD is
that hood would look more sweet & functional then the other one....
