> I’ve got the stock hood. This hood is VIS carbon fiber. LEGIT carbon fiber, not carbon fiber wrapped… and it has a vent to help the engine run cooler. The 4g63 engines run hot, escpecially since the headers are almost on top of the radiator so any ventilation or after market fans to keep it cooler helps out alot. The hood isn’t ricey at all. I like it, and it was pretty damn expensive.

I had a stock hood on my 2g and never had a problem with heat.
