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.

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...

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
