Don't really wanna run a normal hood in the desert with all this heat and a monster turbo don't play well together.

Seibon is absolute trash. I'd know, I have one on my Z. Don't get it.

Trackspec vents are your best bet.

Trackspec vents

vis invader design is supposed to work but fitment questionable

Fuji hood is so sexy too.

OP, I had a seibon TS and it was OK. It had much better fitment than BettyZ's last 3 hoods he got from them. You are doing the right thing by trying to find a good used one that fits correctly.

Seibon has zero QC. You could fit EW's kok in the fender/hood gap.

Which, granted, is 9.5mm, but the FSM mandates a gap of 4mm or so, so...

Don't pay $1,000 for a Seibon trash-hood. Spend $400 on Tracspec instead and blow the rest on hookers and antibiotics. It's more worthwhile than buying some CF POS made in Vietnamese re-education camps.
