Opinions on the hood from RK sport

[iinan]

I REALLY want this hood, but...my wife says its horrible.Would you give it a or a

[Mrizzle05]

it just doesnt fit the vibe... especially with the new les aggressive front end... and it seems too short in width and too tall.ima have to say Id rather have the CF JSP hood

[shanemade]

that's the one i want too way up

[Toasted7]

I give it a , but I think it would only look good with the rest of the bodykit. Not sure how good it would look on a standard vibe with no bodykit.Is that bodykit avail?

I love the body kit, but the hood... eh not so much.If it was me I'd get the slp hood (if it fits 05+) or the jsp carbon fiber one*does the slp hood fit 05+ ???

[northvibe]

all the hoods are the same, its actually just that nose grill that changed looks. I actually think this hood is growing on me, i actually dont mind it but i like the other hoods aswell.

Sorry, but . It looks like a flattened nose.The best AM hood is the SLP.

sorry, zuben, but i'm gonna disagree. i've never liked the SLP hood that much. it's not that agressive and looks (imo so people don't get all pissy at me) rather girly (this is coming from a girl). i like the look of the RK hood much better. that's what i was going for (is some of you old timers remember) back in 04 when i got ripped off by a scammer. RK makes high quality products. very very HOT!!! go for it iinan!

[NUBlackshirts]

I like it. Looks better on the older Vibes though.

I think this hood would look good on the pre-'05 year Vibes. As far as the body kit availability, might want to give them a call, b/c I tried calling them for like 6mo on this and the rear spoiler and every time they kept saying they were supposedly going to build it, but were waiting for more interest. And when it came to the time they said they were going to be making it avail, they said they were still waiting for interest. I highly doubt it's for sale yet, but it is in their 2006 Catalog again, so who knows. They have a phone # on the website, just call that and ask.

[LUVROK]

That hood is definatly pimp especially with a billet grille on an 05 Neptune GT

[Toasted7]

Looks like that rear bumper is already setup and cut-out for dual exhaust... wonder what you do if you don't have rear exhaust? Wonder if they would paint it to match the color of your paint before they shipped it?

[AKLGT]

i love dual exhaust! mmmm!!!!! was a requirement for my car. i wanted some just like this!

Oh, and I might at that one of our own VOTM's has the SLP-style hood: Ballrub (photo gallery).His is from Advanced Composite Specialties

Why isn't there anything coming out of the left pipe? That fart cannon is probably just hanging on with duct tape and coat hanger, they didn't tap into the pipe! (removed)!Ahem, anyway, I dislike all aftermarket hoods. The SLP is the only one I like the looks of, but I'd never change out a hood... No telling what that does to the vehicle's crashworthiness when you go to some new hood. Yeah, I'm pretty lame.

True...pre-SUbie.

[Mrizzle05]

how about dual exhaust like this!!! my old cavy... i love the look of duals!!!

[AKLGT]

wow. not sure what exactly to say.... you know i'd have made fun of your car if i'd seen it driving down the street.... j/k but that's quite the wing.

[Mrizzle05]

those are fighting words!!! I made it look UNIQUE. and that was a bombz racing spoiler...

[millster]

Back on topic please.

[NascarXprt]

im really torn between the SLP and the m-Vader hood on Damrons and Merzs. not sure whichone though."scratches head in confusion"

[northvibe]

yeah those two hoods are nice, kinda depends on if you want ram air or the breather hood. ram air you could just do a short ram air intake and the hood pipes the air right ontop of the SR. Also their hood is CF so if you like CF a lot go for it!

I wanted something that would stand out more, but it's all personal preference. Either is nice.
