    Which hood?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Having trouble on deciding on a cf hood for my car. These are what I have narrowed down too but am curious what you guys think.

    1.) Vader


    2.) Euro R


    3.) OEM


    I like the vader but feel like it is almost too ricey. The euro r is probably my favorite but I dont know if those vent will look out of place

    Oem is the most likely choice seeing as it runs the least risk of people saying I am ricing out my audi.

    Vorsteiner or oem. Euro R looks like an RX8 and Vader should have been destroyed along with the Death Star.

    Re: Which hood?

    I would have to say OEM by far. The Vader is just waay to rice and does not belong on an A4 or any audi for that sake. The OEM is a clean look and is sharp looking that is meant to be on the car. but thats just my 2 cents

    OEM if it has to be from your choice. Other than your choice, Vorsteiner ftw.

    Re: Which hood?

    where is the best place to get a vorsteiner and cheapest place? I would say as of right now i am leaning eurogear due to pricing, but that depends on if i can find a vorsteiner for fairly cheap. Thanks

    OEM. Don't like fussy hoods, even if they are in sexy CF.

    If you've got a stock black hood we can work something out. I'm over it.

    Re: Which hood?

    The picture for the OEM hood, large openings on the driver's side to get air to your ECU??? haha. Or is that image flipped (sure it's just a sample)?

    Is the location of that opening customizable (can I buy a CF hood and have a shop cut through at the location I want? - or is that asking for problems?)

    There is also this vented hood by Seibon.




    Or the Vis Terminator.


    The VIS Euro R does have four vents.

    But can a vent be cut into a CF hood by a reputable shop? Or is it just a bad idea to even think about it?

    The vented Seibon, at least to me, looks like there's too much material missing.

    Looks like a basket, or a lattice.

    I like the terminator style, a little more aggressive, but I dont think it would look bad...almost like dMAks custom hood.

    If I were you, I would talk to Onemoremile and see what he has to offer. It may be a good chance to get a Vorsteiner hood at a good price.
