Question Kaminari hood or no?

I was debating whether my next mod should be a kaminari hood or hayames?

I know a lot of non-nhbp cars can pull off the black hood look, but do you think a black kaminari hood would look good on my nhbp car? It won't really stand out the way it does on other cars because it's black huh.

Like... CF hoods really have their moments of glory on non-black cars.

I think a CF hood would only be like to those people who own 7thgens that really pay attention to detail.

Bleh ya know what i'm talkin about guys?


I wanna get hayames but.... I'm scared of increased wear/tear/rattling/popping/bumping/grinding/scratching/curbing/scuffing.

I don't want my car to sound like a can of bolts if I ever put it back to stock you know.

Opinions plz guys

i like CF hoods no matter the color of the car, im getting one on my red vic hopefully, but to answer your question yes get one, but im not a fan of the kaminari hood b/c of what its modeled after. personally id get the "turbo" style hood or "invader" style, from VIS i believe

I have no idea what I'd do. I just saw the kaminari hood on this one pink civic and I saw another hood on a pink neon and i was like dayam.

Painting costs $$$$$$$$$$$$!

Kaminari Owns!!!! Here is my Kaminari.

I wouldn't get the Ram air hood because it isn't even functional. So that is a waste of looks, space, and added weight.

I'd get the FiberImages. I don't like the black trim that the Kaminari hoods have.
