Stage 21 was my favorite when I was last active in about 2019. I liked the look on the kouki S14. M Sports looks similar fa sho

I have spacers on the hinges just so the arch difference isn't so jarring at the front, but now the height difference at the rear of the hood is distinctly noticeable.
3. My valve cover is now rubbing against the drop vent. I have Xcessive engine mounts which may or may not have raised the engine, but it's a issue nonetheless.

I'm surprised! That's wild about the fitment especially given that you have their fenders as well >___>
Makes me a little hesitant to get a CF vented hood for my ride. There is a fiberglass OE hood on the kouki S14 front and honestly the fitment is spot on. I just have risers on the hinges for the vibes.
I would love a TA style vented CF for reasons but Idk if I could handle fitment concern! :O
