Default Unique hood..

Does anyone know who makes this hood, or if it's custom?

you can always have money in your pocket, how much is a diffrent story. however; you will be short about 9 bills if you buy this hood new. i got lucky and pick it up used, the only reason i got it. i wanted a carbon fiber hood, but those things are like 14 bills
for the one i wanted but veilside will do.

For me, itd cost even more, because no Honda hood vent will ever grace the GS. I dont think it would match that well with the Eurolines.

i don't get it, if there is no vent then it's a regular hood minus chrome part of gril

The difference on the Veilside hood from the OEM hood is the Muscle ridges over the headlights. Gives the car an almost Mercedes look and just a more muscular chance. Its the subtle things that make the biggest differences to me.

Mugen Hoods are Super nice, I just do not believe that style of hood(thats purely a statement of personal opinion) they belong on a Luxury sedan with the Lines of the GS.
