I like it. The vents are not as prominent as the TS hood.

Very nice. When's it hitting a production run?

off topic but gotta say it: I really don't like the G35 wheels on your 8, at least not in the paint/powercoat trim.

On the hood, I love the fact that the scoops are flush with with entire panel, and that they're larger than the ones on the Seibon TS, I'd really like to see a photoshop with just 3 scoops. Fitment looks great as well. I think this is quite a bit more elegant that most of the other cf hoods i've seen so far.

Are you using pop rivets to mount the OE air dam?

the vents are fine IMO. I just wish it didn't have that indented "V" in the middle...

i'm looking for something closer to the autoexe flat hood...

Here are some new pics with a vertex kit on.
I think it looks cool with this hood and kit.
