IMHO-a carbon fiber hood with vents similiar to the Jaguar XKR(similiar to Cossie vents, but flush mounted) would be awesome! Looks stock from afar, yet it would still allow hot air to escape the engine compartment. Carbon fiber to lighten up the front end, vented to cool the engine.

Agreed. CF hood with flush mounted Cossie-style vents and I'm in.

I think the Predator hood narrows down the market - I doubt you could get more than 10 people for a GB. Plus making the CF hood a Predator style would jack up the price.

I think a CF hood with simple vents is something that most could agree on - a lightweight hood with a way for heat to escape and keep the price down.

agreed here as well.

well its good that we explore all options and i think it's established that the majority wants some type of vent or hood scoop. I'm up for anything with a scoop as long as it's a clean design.

I want a CF hood either predator or not but a CF predator would be a soooo nice

IF anyone wants to see what a few scoops look like on the TOUR, let me know and i'll send you the pics so you can post them up here... Photo Shop Pics complements of Sho Nuff~

so these hoods do not fit pre-98's? i don't feel like readin eveyr post and such and im curious, I got a '97

i'll take some thing diffrent from oem style....cowl induction...god how sweet,,,,but scoops,and vents would be nice. like i said diffrent is great...........

I agree. I would love to have CF with predator but the price could be so high and I need money for the body kit.

I think something like THIS would be cool.....the hood looks like OE but with the cossie vents as previously mentioned.

i know the pic isn't the best - but you get the idea.

Something like this but a little more tame would be nice. But i still like the idea of offseting the cowl induction over the intake area and vents up top.
