Some come with covers that you can attach and the more expensive JDM hoods have built in drain gutters.

This is the VIS AMS hood. I ordered it online from CARID and had them price match the cheapest site I could find.

Quick question to all who has aftermarket hoods, do you guys use hood struts or the stock stick thingy to hold up your hood ?

Yup. . I have them but because I used them with my stock hood first. Not necessary but handy.

Do you mind if I ask how much you ended up paying? You can PM me if you'd like.
