im going to order one soon and am debating which one to get... what are your opinions? I like the clean look of the OEM, however at the same time I want to stand out with the Invader... tough call

 

[I'm tired of my usernamee]

if you dont have a big agressive bodykit or whatnot, then just stick with the OEM if you want clean lines. How would you describe your cars current look??
Clean and subtle? Agressive?

 

[jlee1469]

yea thats what im stuck on... i want clean and subtle but also something different...

and this is my car's current look

then just go for the oem. Maybe even paint it to keep the sleek look.

I'd go with the Syndicate Kustomz hood

If you don't plan on adding a kit to make it look more aggressive, then the OEM is the way to go.

is that the GTR front?

my bad. Didn't realize those were SEL sides and a rear lip with the GTR front

How high does the Invader hood protrude? If its less than the SK hood, then it would def. be a perfect match.

Been looking around for a hood price for a while and I'll tell you that its not going to be easy. The cheapest I've actually found the Invader hood is $485 shipped- compared to the other sites which sell them for $400 w/o shipping (if its FG). Just stack a lil bit more and go with authentic companies. Wouldn't exactly trust ebay when it comes to bodyparts

expecially when it comes to carbon fiber. The weaves might be a little off and thats how those companies get them and sell them so cheap.

I think the vent on the Invader is taller than on the SK hood.

SK hood > Invader

 

[pete?]

if need be go for the SK hood ^like he says its smaller.

but personaly i think an OEM style with the sides painted and the middle C/F would look alot better.

Been there, done that...played out.

still a bit more origonal than the ever present invader hood. (at least one in every parking lot) :fluffy:

Seems like every OEM c/f hood I see these days has the edges/corners painted.

So whats wronge with that?

 

[1CLNB14]

I guess I just like being a litttle different than the rest of the crowd.

 

[jlee1469]

hehe im clueless what to do... right now im most likely looking into a used oem c/f hood from notanotherhonda (http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=112305&page=1&pp=20) and i MIGHT do the painting the sides thing hah... we'll see its all up in the air,

thanks for all your suggestions and i took them into consideration. i want my car to stay a good looking DD but all my friends are telling me to enter HIN and i might just for fun i suppose. i might be one of a very few b14s there to represent

 

[Nismo240]

just get an oem. that way, no one can make fun of how ugly your hood looks.
