Message	I wanted to get a vented hood to aid my car in cooling. I was thinking of buying this hood if Chris (NJ) doesn't sell me his JUN hood. I didn't want to change my bumper but this one looks so sexy. I think this hood and bumper make the Z32 really stand out yet keep it clean and not ricey. What do you guys think? Would it look to extreme? I will also be putting the 99 headlights. The thing that really bothers me is the material. I have had my GTZ-R bumper for close to four years and have yet to have any chipping problems. I doubt the same will go for the Fiber Reinforced Plastic.
