Need an opinion. Looking to buy a new one soon-ish and not sure what direction i want to go in. I currently have a stock style CF hood, and i wouldnt mind getting another one, but just seeing what others opinions are.

Drift Style (also available in Trueno)

Drop Vent Style

Stock Style

I like to the D-Max style for Levins and the drop vent for Truenos. The stock is good for either IMO.

I've been considering doing a drop vent or even drift style due to the fact it gets quite warm on hot days drifting... that damn supercharger adds a little heat :/

I'm not going to be much help unless I know whether it is a Levin or Trueno, coupe or hatch.

Meanwhile, I left my magnifying glass at home to view those hoods on my 22" monitor. :P

I voted by when it comes to Drop Vent it has to be J-Blood for me.

well, i ended up paying for the Drift Style hood, but because of it being DESTROYED IN SHIPPING, it was sent back and my money was refunded.

I'm probably going to wait a while before i do buy another hood unless i'm in a bind...still don't know which style i'd like though.
