Anything other than a stock OEM Style hood or carbon fiber on a civic or any import for that matter is stupid and ugly in my opinion. We are 4 cylinders not V8's with Blowers there is no need for a hood scoop whatsoever for our 4cylinder low power output (compared to that of a v8 anyhow) street cars.

Now if your car is setup to where the hood scoop will actually improve the performance or is actually necessary for power, more power to you but it just dosent go well with a lightly modded show car with no use for it other tha looks. Imports should never take after domestics and should keep the sleek, aerodynamic/futuristic look, just as domestics should never take after imports by adding body kits and things that have become popular because they were first introduced and featured on imports.

Although the predator does not look bad at all, I would still stick with the OEM style.

But thats my opinion - others may vary
