Default Which CF Hood? [for DC2 Integra]

I've searched through the forums and I'm convinced ViS is the way to go, but I was wondering which model?

The Evo?
The Invader?
The G Force? (That orange teg looks sexy..)

I'm more interested in performance; I want to cool my engine bay as much as I can.

'94 GSR

Why? I'm leaning towards getting a vented hood. Is that not the way to go?

On an otherwise stock integra, the OEM hood style will look best.
The decrease in underhood temps is not worth the design compromise.

Moved to Appearance / Cosmetic Showroom.

I agree with the OEM style carbon fiber hood.

If you live in an area where it rains a lot, or you tend to wash your car a lot, it'd be beneficial and less troublesome to have a hood with no vent.

Also, if you do plan on getting a CF hood, I suggest that before you have it installed, that you get the hood clearcoated so that the hood would last longer and it's easier to care for.

*I like the Xtreme GT. Simple but makes the hood have more lines. I personally don't even like the CF look. Slowly becoming synonymous with ricers. The weight reduction is not much of a gain alone.

OEM ftw!!! I had one on my 240SX, got soo many compliments. It also depends on what other body modifications you have.
