Need opinion on carbon fiber hoods...

Which hood would look better, an OEM carbon fiber hood or this hood? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I like both, but is it bad if rain goes through the vents and into my engine bay?

Get the 2nd one.. dont worry about the water in the engine bay, it is all water resistant. As long as the hood doesnt have a hole that allows water to drop onto your air filter, you are good to go.

I'm trying to go for a more racing look, that is why I like the vented one, but the OEM also has that racing feel, its probably all going to come down to price...vented is about $100 more...
