Looks better or worse depending on your car's color and whether not its complimenting other modifications.

For example I think lowering the car first will make it look more aggressive which will compliment the hood

Usually looks good though if you take care of it, I say go for it

Looks good. I have one on my silver O.Z. and its sick. I dont have a drop but I do have a turbo so it helps and looks good at the same time.

I have one on my Thunder Gray OZ-T and I think it looks good. I got it because I wanted a vented hood to let some heat out from the turbo mani...

well i have an es...and even though things are coming along with my mods...i thought the idea of the cf hood on my car was absolute tool.

and you dont even wanna know the price i couldve gotten on a cf hood.

im not really racing it...hence the fact that i have an es...so i just want it to look nice...not ricey.

Just remember to get a good quality carbon fiber hood. Many people make crappy ones that look great for the first year. Oh and if they say its a vis Racing hood. Call vis racing first to confirm that they sell hoods to that company. Thats what happened to me.
