Default Ready to buy CF Hood

I'm ready to buy a CF hood but have been juggling between all the different brands and styles.

I'm partial to the J's.....any pro's and con's on that one? Is the replica more practical?

if you're looking for a CF hood and money is no object then maybe you should look at the Mugen one.

i think everyone will agree with me when i say that it IS the sickest hood ever made.

Take a look at Kaminari. Not dry carbon, but quality second to none.

Personally, I'd go with the ASM hood.

The Kaminari is nice but requires an aftermarket exhaust which I'm not ready to change yet.

Where is the link for the ASM hood? I've never seen that one.

The Mugen hood is very nice........it's moving up on my list.

That's not the ASM hood I'm talking about. (They have a few different designs.)



(Yes, those are full CF fenders, too.)

oohhhhh ASM looks nice. Can't go wrong with Mugen,J's,Top Secret,Cwest,Amuse. I'd stay away from the knockoff junk Vis,Extreme Dimensions GTP and such.
