OEM or Vented??? - Honda Prelude Forum

red92si · 07-31-2002, 08:33 PM

I am thinking about buying a CF hood. I can get a really good deal on a vented (invader style) hood. I just want your guys opinion on what looks better on a 4th Gen... and if you can post pictures of 4th Gens with both types of CF hoods... Thanks.

if you want a CF hood, I actually have a VIS OEM style in my garage. Its a friends, in near perfect condition. He said he is looking to get somewhere in the 'mid-300s'. Hit me up on AIM or email if you are interested, and Im sure I can get my friedn to deliver it to NoHo in his truck.

Is this the invader?

Tyler definately get a OEM sytle one. You car would look odd with a vented one and not kit and I think the OEM one looks clean even if you do have a kti.

BTW get JDM's before the hood.

i have an OEM style hood, and it looks really clean, the invader is aggressive as hell, but doesnt work well with all cars IMO,for your car, OEM all the way dude

Yeah, if you plan on getting an agressive kit go for the invader but if your going for a clean look get the OEM style. OEM style would suit your car right now IMHO.

Fast&furiuslude · 08-01-2002, 01:00 AM

i think it suits mine well...any opinions..

preludechic · 08-01-2002, 11:52 AM

Unless you have a really aggressive kit on your car, I'd go OEM.

ophdeheezy · 08-01-2002, 12:31 PM

lemme know if u want the invader or oem style.. brand new, ill get u a really good deal.

Fast&furiuslude · 08-01-2002, 12:43 PM

like how much for invader?

ViZ · 08-01-2002, 01:36 PM

i like the oem cf hood but u might get the vented one because it can help cooling... takes the air from the front and lets it run across the headers and right out the vent in the hood keeping your engine bay cooler.. and my car runs like crap when its hot... just a thought.. i dont know how well VIS designed it so it may not keep the air flow as well as you might expect but i figure better then nothing.... just my opinion

thats what i was figuring too ViZ.. i dont like heat soak especially on those 90+ degree days and my sucky hot air intake doesn't help. i would go with vented

With your kit I think it would look nice.

Agreed. Do it.

red92si · 08-01-2002, 04:54 PM

Thanks alot for all the opinions guys. I think I will go with the OEM one seeing as I will never put a body kit on my car.

pearl type sh · 08-01-2002, 05:15 PM

vented are good but only if you got a big kit and it all has to flow together.

oem is for the clean look, small lips jdm mabye. like that. or just slamed on rims and hood.

supasloracer · 08-01-2002, 11:17 PM

i like the vented hood, damn
