It would basically be for show only, considering that our hoods are extremely light and durable as they are; yes you'd save some weight but nothing significant from what i've heard. But how much?

I'd get one if it had vents or something more aggressive, but NOT ricey.

Cooler IM temps > rice
I guess you could throw a vent in the same spot though. I would buy a vented one, prolly not a oem looking one.

Can't wait for vis to finish the carbon fiber hoods. I just hope they weren't bs'in. When i called to get a price for an 06 civic hood i asked about the maxima. They said they're still working on it. Can't wait!!!!!!

There definitely has to be some kind of vent or something which distinguishes the hood from the OEM, other than carbon fiber.

That's nice but a little over the top to me. Definately like the middle vent but I would rather it face the front for more cooling to the hot pipes underneath...

some vents would be better for a more aggresive look

Here is a design for a new hood that I was screwing around with in Photoshop, what do you guys think. I think it looks agressive without being too ricey

I think the little vents on the sides are all thats needed. You don't need to make it bulgy with the scoop.
