Silicon black vented hood?
 
Hey guys,

So with every new post of mine, I must apologize if the answer is found elsewhere on these forums. Trust that I have tried to find my answer, and crowding up the forums with another topic is my last resort!

On to the question. My BRZ has recently had some hail damage *begins to tear up*. I don't think some heat and dry ice is going I fix this bad boy; even Keenan said it wasn't worth trying to fix. I would love to get a hood with a vent, but all I can find are the carbon and dry carbon hoods. I could just get a new stock silicon black hood, but I used to have a WRX with a scoop, and I feel like a single wide vent hood in silicon black would just look extra sexy. Does anyone know who makes these kind of aftermarket hoods, but not in carbon fiber?

TLDR: I want a vented aftermarket BRZ hood in silicon black (not carbon fiber)

Thanks folks!

You can paint the carbon fiber hoods, or get those same hoods in fiberglass.

This is still my favourite solution to this problem. Paint a carbon hood, and this one is the perfect example of how good it can look. Exactly what I plan to do if I ever want a vented hood.

I think he's looking for hoods that are cheaper than c/f counterparts, not because they don't come in black. I'm not sure they exist.

That painted c-f hood looks awesome! It's not that I'm trying to save money, I just want the vented hood, but in the silicon black. I don't think the c-f would look good on my blacked out car.

I found the c-f hood for ~$700ish online. How much additional would it be to get it painted? And what about that vs getting it wrapped?
