Message Yeah, it looks pretty good. In fact, it's probably the best-looking aftermaket hood I've seen- very similar to the stock.

And because it looks so similar to stock (I honestly never notcied SpeedyZX's hood until it was pointed out) is exactly why I don't see it as being worth the $$$.

Some people may argue that it's functional; well although the Z's engine bay seems really hot, it was designed that way and the parts were made to tolerate the heat. And I don't think the hood opening would reduce temps significantly. I wonder if anyone's monitored underhood temps with and without the hood.

If it is over $1000 as someone earlier said, I just couldn't justify it.

The lip, on the other hand, is a very nice touch for a decent price.

Your car is clean. IMO, it needs very little to look awesome. Jspec tails if you don't have them yet. Jspec fascia or the stock fascia w/ stillen lip...maybe clear side markers, etc.

Good luck with whatever you end up doing, and nice Z. -Rob
