Carbon Fiber Hoods

I am going to be getting the HKS turbo kit soon and i am wanting a new hood to help keep temperatures a little lower under the hood. Which hood has functional vents and which style would be best for this?

Mugen MG style or the J's Racing has vents in them.

Congrats on the HKS turbo kit as well. I've been thinking of doing boost soon

Congratz on the HKS! Good call on getting a vented carbon fiber hood too. They bring your under hood temperature close to ambient temperature. I bought mine from carbonfiberhoods.net. They seem to have the lowest prices around. Honda Fit 07-08 DV Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood
