Actually there is more clearance than you realize with the faspac. It won't work with the stock airbox and some larg smic's, but there is plenty of space for piping. I like the looks of the mazdaspeed slightly better, not much. The vents on the faspac are much bigger than the mazdaspeed, thus having more function while keeping a very subtle look. Either hood looks awsome on the car, the faspac isn't as boxy in person as many think either.

i agree, i didn't like pictures of my faspac hood while on my car, but in person it looked great and received many compliments. It's definately a solid hood, it does it's job well. My mazdaspeed hood also does the job well, but due to the smaller vents I think i'm giving up a little function for form. Also the mazdaspeed hood shimmies a little bit when i go over small bumps (this also may have something to do with it being fiberglass) I guess it boils down to three things; cost, plans, and taste. The faspac is cheaper, it requires an aftermarket intake and a few intercoolers wont fit under it, and last what style you prefer.
