VA Seibon TS Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood

Anyone got a good pic of a Seibon TS hood installed on a FD? I've looked around the web and either the pics are too small or its just the hood.

I'm deciding if I should get the Seibon TS hood or the ST hood, what do you all think looks better?

Thanks for the pic Slideways FD. Your car does look very clean. Everytime I look at the TS hood, I feel like I like the agressive lines of the ST [scoot] hood, then I look at the ST hood and I'm not fond of the front snout, so I revert back to the TS.
I think I like the vents better on the scoot hood better since they flare out towards the upper corners rather than the vertical line down the center. Correct me if I'm wrong Slideways FD

i was debating between the same 2 hoods, i just didnt care for how the vents on the st were so flat looking compared to the real scoot hood.

I agree about the weight savings, pretty much the same.

Now have an authentic re-a hood where the vents are much more aggressive. Fitment was pretty good on TS hood.

My car is in rebuild mode, I'll have to make a rebuild thread next year I guess heh.

Wheels are 18x9+0 with 245/35/18 and 19x10-31 (30mm spacer) with 275/35/19. With wide front fenders and a pull on rear, they would fit stock body with stretched tires no problem... but that's not my style. Next year it will be a 275/315 combo I think....back on topic though.

Fitment on my hood was good except around the headlights, had to do some significant shaving to make it fit nice, but that could have been due to the sleek kit.
