Let me throw some heavy persuasion your way……………you have some good choices to pick from.

You don’t need a rain guard as water will not be falling into any vital engine parts. Mostly the exhaust area.

After looking at all the pics. I think the kaminari hood is the sweetest looking one. The way it flows with the TC is incredible. If I were able to get it I would. But I already purchased mine.

Thats beautiful. The only thing I don't like is the black lip thing around the edge.

Its true the underside isnt the most attractive, its never really bothered me. But if you didnt like it that match you could sand it down and paint it.

i personally dont think that a c/f hood will look good on your car, it wont match.

your rims are a more of a stylish type, while the c/f is like tuner status.. so i think its going to clash.

I do like the evo hood, I think it probably needs a realy good looking kit to pull it off a bit better, but from now on I think I will buy kamianri parts, the craftsmanship is excellent

Go with the Kaminari unless you plan on going with an aggressive body kit like the Raven or Touring kits.
