Well, this is a practical question. You were asking about astetics before. If you are looking for the easy way or the less expensive way then the suggestions would change.

I like it both ways.
But you could keep your S2, and drive the hood to the shop in a diff car for painting. Install is very simple...

X is this your current set up so far? black CF on silver?

I can do this now if I decided to keep the CF and the install is easy? (where can i go for install instructions)

Yes, the hood is exactly as you see it in those pictures. However, I now have the '04 OEM front bumper and Volk Mercury Silver rims.

Install is not bad. You'll need to buy black washer nozzles if you don't paint it. I have a thread up on some of my initial install pics:

If you are going to paint it, best to just take the hood to the painter. Put it on the car after it's painted. Let him see the car for the color match.

You can get his TS style at www.teamspugen.com or through the GB for Seibon hoods from Evolution or Evasive in FB forum. They are about $600+shipping.
Your current washers are Silverstone, so they will look funny on a Black hood, hence new black pissers.

Xvip,
Are those rain shields on the bottom of your hood? Because I only see 1 vent from the underside pictures. Surely they're all functional, though...?
