so im more in favor of just cutting my hood again

sooooo to go a different route what do you all think of this...

CARBON FIBER PORSCHE 2010-2012 PANAMERA 970 VENTED BONNET HOOD AIR INTAKE SCOOPS | eBay

i stumbled upon this accidently i googled carbon vents and this popped up.... i think the body lines of the hood would pull off this look well. What do you guys think?

I don't like it but that's just my opinion.

They do flow with the hood, im just not a fan of that style vent. I think Fly1Motorsports has a hood coming out with this kind of vent style. It looks pretty sick. You can see it kind of on the last page. Fly1 Motorsports "RS1 Vented Fenders"!!!

thanks man... ive seen his hood... and man its tastey!!! but the only thing is i dont wanna deal with throwing my stock hood or storing it because i have no space for it... thats why im leaning towards the cut hood and put vent route..... the vents on the ^^^^ isnt too aggressive thats the only downside....

Do you use your car every day? Have someone local modify your stock hood like CS did to theirs.
