My vote: Love it

I personally like it a lot. I've got a soft spot for carbon fiber hoods on white WRX's.

I agree. Or at least with a matching scoop.

Hmmmm, I kinda like it.... I think I'm right on the edge though... Those big vents on the sides of the hood don't really get me going all that much... I think that if it were a plain WRX carbon fiber hood with a carbon fiber scoop, that would look alot better... However, it does look better than I imagined it would when ya said something about it on NASIOC

I like it. Only problem is the scoop. The big white thing in the middle of the hood sorta makes the car look cow-like (i.e. white spots). A carbon fiber, or black or even dark grey scoop would solve that. I'm tossing around the idea of a carbon fiber hood for my upcoming Formula convertible. Think it would look good on a dark grey car? I'm undecided.
