Default hood question! stumped

hey guys,

Hit a deer last night. See attached pics for damages. AWESOME.

anyway I want to use this chance to get a new hood. I like the seibon with the downward cow but I only see it in carbon fiber.

Does anyone know of a good manufacturer of REGULAR hoods with scoops/injection that are OEM fit????

So you want a OEM hood with some sort of ventilation that isn't carbon or fiberglass?

Paint the carbon fiber then? I mean thats the reasonable thing to do. (And in all reality the smartest since it won't allow for resin degradation) You can keep the windshield washer nozzles on any aftermarket hood, you just have to drill for them. And you won't find a sheet metal aftermarket hood except for the stock style.

I have the carbo creations hood. Great hood. Id recommend it. The only non CF hood with a vent is the Kaminari I believe.

This. I have seen a lot of people who will paint a CF hood and usually it turns out really well. The only thing that you need to worry about is fitment. As long as everything lines up fine, I think it will look good.
