The hood is rough around the edges, a tad heavier than stock, and not super strong in the center. If I were to do it again, I'd just run full trackspec vents on my stock hood (might still). Right now I run trackspec center with the amuse side vents.

Has anyone had the Amerihood version of the CF amuse hood? I've been wondering if that'd be any better.
Id be shocked if those companies didnt all use the same factory

As much as I hate fly1, I got a 2015 wrx sti hood for my wife years ago. Pretty good fitment and it’s held up over the last 2 years really well. Otherwise I still hate them.

UPDATE.. So after researching options and speaking with dozens of people with hands on experience ....I bought the fly1 terminal gt hood back around January ....hood did take a long time to arrive but it arrived on their specified date when ordering . After unboxing there wasn’t any damage from shipping and only thing I noticed for a defect was on the edge there was what appeared to be a little build up of gel coat but it was only the size of a drop and isn’t in a visible spot everything else looked as I have seen every other carbon hoods. During the months of waiting I found some vented fenders being sold close by that were fly1 as well and I picked them up for a really good price. They were the partial carbon and fiber glass never installed , I will say lining them up took some patience but they did line up very well. I have been riding with them on for a few months now just to see if any issues or cracks develop , haven’t had any issues. Next step with be having them painted to match.
