    I kind of think at a certain point it starts looking like the house in the neighborhood with all the halloween and Christmas crap in the yard.

    Do it. Just get it painted or better clear coated, to protect it.

    If I could get Seibon I would replace my VIS.

    If I were doing a full on crazy build, I'd use it to reduce the weight so that I could carry more gear and fuel. This might be a good weight offset for someone who has a long range fuel tank or lots of armor and is carrying tons of extra weight. Just like going aluminum over steel wheels, that's weight that can be used somewhere else on the vehicle.

    Without side scoops.

    side scoops would look good on a dodge trophy truck.

    Kick the exhaust out through the hood! Straight pipes right through the hood. That would be bad ass.

    I think these dudes running around with empty rotopax (whatever you call them) water and gas jugs empty while they hit the mall is ridiculous. Maxtrax mounted like they are about to hit the rubicon. Lol. Get your hood if you like it. JDM for life right? Or is broverland for life? Ah fuck it. Lol

    I prefer the one without those side vents. I got it for weight savings, extra airflow for my charger and I think it looks good. If you like it you should get it.
