Hey all.
I'm on a fence here. I have a blacked-out sleeper theme going, which I love. More than a few enthusiasts have pointed out that they like that the FXT looks like any other, and other than hearing the exhaust (its a louder-than-normal Invidia Q300) and the wheels, they'd never look twice at it.
I'm getting a FMIC this week and I was thinking I could keep with the sleeper theme and delete the hood scoop by going with an NA hood. Options are a very dark carbon fiber offering for $480 (dark enough to only notice it isn't metal if you are up close and paying attention), an OEM for $350 (+ paint), an aftermarket for $200 + paint, finding someone to trade straight across (possibly + paint, but I'd rather get the same factory color) or simply keeping what I've got.
So, as the poll suggests, what are your thoughts? Keep the existing hood (at this point non functional) and sleeper mode or taking a few Valium and Ambien and going FULL SLEEPER by deleting the hood?
Some other route? Please vote the 3rd option and reply here or PM me.
Thanks!!
