i dislike the VIS 'invader' style hood vents as well. its too towards the bottom of the hood and the 'v' shape is disgusting. i like the hood scoop in the middle of the hoods that are in most of the jdm cf hoods too. there's a place in arizona who sells the Wurs style hood for 180sx and s14 silvia. i dont have the link handy, but i think its in the links section. you can also give jspec or any other importer an email. im sure they can source one out for you.

but border hoods are built so well that they are almost as light as most CF hoods. Actually they're lighter than some CF hoods i've seen. Granted they were crappy hoods but hey. Its just that they are purpouse built, the vents are there for a reason. Besides looking mean. Just my thoughts.

But i'm biased because i've seen and messed around with Border stuff before. It's the dopest! Sorry.... i did it again. ;)
