I'm considering putting a vented hood on my car with my '99 bumper (I will be keeping the R1 wing and have the RE street diffuser). Previously I decided that an aftermarket hood was not an option given that I don't want to have too much of a standout car and prefer the subtle stock look. But given that I'd like to run full boost on the track without cooling issues I think the hood may become a necessity. Carbon fiber would be nice painted but it seems like a lot of those hoods have fitment issues so maybe aluminum or a modification to the stock hood? I've been looking at a lot but I think drawing on experience from you guys would help because there's a million hoods out there and usually the cars pictured don't have a body setup similar to mine. Thanks

Have you looked into the FEED hood? It's the closest to stock look...adding a bit of an agressive edge, while being one of very few aftermarket hoods that keeps the stock body lines.

Here's a picture from ShineAuto's groupbuy...



Or you could always vent the stock hood...

This is my favorite, but of course your imagination is the limit...

 

i have a great one for ya. i searched for a very long time and could never find a hood that looks good and also has good ventalation. i dont know how you would go about ordering it, but the first car in this thread has the best hood i could find . my dream hood, hope you like...

That'd be the FEED hood.

dude yer always one step ahead of me...

 

That is one hell of a nice FD. I love the color.

 

Thats a nice hood, I didn't even realize it was on the car from most angles and I'm sure fitment is pretty good from shine. I don't really like the shape of the vents though, doesn't seem to match the body lines of the car. Thanks for the ideas.

 

That hood actually looks really nice in person. I saw it at Seven Stock on a car painted body color. Didn't even realize it was an aftermarket hood until I looked more closely. Very subtle.

 

This is my dream hood. A JUN aero bonnet. I thinks its the most subtle aftermarket hood. And its a dream hood considering its $1600 new from JUN's machine shop in Japan, and I have never seen one on another member's fd

 

Another very good option other than the FEED hood. I actually like this one better.
