Which is the best aftermarket hood-I want vented. In terms of fitment and overall quality. I'm going to paint it to match my car Sebring- so does it matter if it's CF or Glass? Top Secret?

 

First find the style you like, I have some good luck with seibon on my personal cars... most the carbon fiber dealers like myself will replace anything if it doesnt fit right. Good luck on your search!!

 

Fiberglass is typically a little easier and less costly to paint.

I've heard the TS hood fits very well. It really all comes down to what type of look you like. I think all the expensive hoods fit well. I have the ASM hood and it fits great.

 

I have the veilside hood on my car and the fitment is really good. I agree with everyone else. Just find one that fits your style.

 

vented oem

 

i love my oem hood.

 

Veilside here, but for different reasons than most. I wanted a vented hood, and the wife wanted the Veilside. I said if you pay for it, I'll put it on. damn if she didn't buy it! It does fit great.

I would suggest a vented hood. I do not suggest cutting up the oem hood. It'll be good for sitting in traffic, but creates more drag and doesn't do a great job of drawing hot air out at speed. If you'll notice, all the vented hoods have a bit of "deflection" just prior to the opening(s). Simply hacking the oem hood does not give you this.

 

Thanks very much for all of your input fellas- it's truly appreciated.

 

I have Seibon and it fits like OEM.
