Default Seibon Carbon OEM or TS?

Soooo... Since many said that just a CF spoiler would look, well, not so good on my stock looking car, I figured I would start with a hood... But now I cant decide if I want the Seibon Carbon OEM style or TS style hood... both look good but the OEM is about $200 cheaper.... and I am on a budget (sort of)

Here is the TS style: http://articles.dashzracing.com/wp-c...ber-hood-1.jpg

Here is the OEM style: http://www.body-kitz.com/contents/me...m_seibon_1.jpg

Which do you guys think is better?

I'd only go with a carbon fiber hood if you're building a panda. Of the two, I like the OEM style one better. Not feeling the hood vents on the TS style one as I think they're difficult to pull off tastefully on the 2IS.

I'm all for a clean look but, the TS really doesn't look that bad in my opinion. The changes are very minimal and I think the TS gives off a bit of an aggressive look while maintaining the clean look.

OEM is both cost-effective and class-effective

OEM is your answer. TS only looks decent if you paint it and have an aggressive bodykit.

Sorry but the TS doesn't belong on a 2IS.
