I say either 1 or 4. With all those other mods, I'm afraid your car would become too busy if you put on an invader style hood (regardless of paint scheme.)

Based on your current setup and the addition of your Tsunami front bumber I would choose OEM Hood or OEM CF Hood.

Invader looks like overkill IMHO.

I voted OEM CF Hood.

I vote painted Invader hood. One thing though, the one in picture 2 looks different than in picture 4, because in picture 2, the vent seems to dip down into the engine bay whereas in picture 4, the vent seems to rise above, distorting the flow of the hood. I say go with picture 2's hood.

After seeing the pics I have changed my mind. Unfortunately I can't change my vote in the polls.

I like pic 1 with the OEM CF with painted sides.
I also like pic 2 which as jfan stated, appears to be a different hood then the invader.

If you were to get the hood in pic 2 you might want to consider painting it the way lownslocvc did in the attached pic.

ok it seems like its oem for the most part. i think i will just order that one and see how it looks on the car with all the stuff then we can decide if paint would look best.
also where can i get the best deal on a quality oem cf hood?
