Dude, step back from the Kaminari hood. That's MY hood bro and $799 is a great price! Where'd you see that? Please don't say Vivid.

aww jeez.. thats Asylum.. www.asylumms.com - they suck ass

i heard they NEVER NEVER ship shit out on time, and it says it takes 10-14 days to process an order... ill keep looking for that price elsewhere, and ill let you know! well, maybe not, so it can be MY hood first!


what do you think about the C west vented Hood? i dig that one too.. but the scoop is SOO expensive, like 900 for a HOOD SCOOP:o


anyone have any other suggestions????

Not into any hood with a hood scoop, though I like the vents. I want heat outlets on top, not heat inlets. Your car's older? I've had mine since November of 2001...and I've got 13k miles to show for it. After all the abuse your ride has taken, aren't you worried about an aftermarket hood even being able to fit? Just messing with you dude. Bottom line on Kaminari is, no one wholesales them. Basically, you're either a Kaminari dealer or you're paying retail. The margins on most of their stuff sucks, so big shops don't bother with a discount to the little guys.

I've heard varying things about Asylumms. Definitely keep looking. I'm not sure I'd be willing to go with the hood alone, since it almost requires a body kit to look right, but it is simply the sickest hood on the market, short of a genuine Prova hood(not the replicas floating around NASIOC), but there is no way in Hell I am paying ~$3k+shipping for a funking hood! :o

HAHA, I WIN.. i picked my car up June 18, 2001... and i have 48,600 miles to show for it:o but mine stayed nearly stock for much much longer!

so i have had mine longer haha..

as for the hoods...

i believe the bit about the dealers, and yes, the back bumper is a bit queer...

as for your hood 99 Venom, hows the quality? fit and finish wise is it just a bolt it up and drive it out hood, or is some prepping required!

what does the Prova Hood look like anyhow? i havent been able to see it? :o


how about the aqua reverse hood scoop? would that do anything at all?
