Not too big a fan of the vented hood. Keep it simple. An OEM style carbon fiber hood would look very nice and keep the clean look going

I'm not feelin' it.
Maybe if it was a bit more subtle (the vent didn't drop so much, maybe a 1/4" lip and maybe a total of 1 inch to and inch and a half opening ) and have the lip followed the curve of the front of the hood too.

My $0.02

the smoothness of the hood will be taken care of when it gets molded, right now we are deciding weather it should have a frame on the bottem or double sided carbon fiber.

I like it, but yeah, the leading edge needs to follow the curve of the hood.

if the curve of the vent had the same curve as the front of the hood i think it would look good... i think it needs some work still but that's just me...
