i think it would look killer on a new edge, and get it painted by professionals. if you put it on there not painted your no better than a civic that puts primer body kits on thier car with scotch tape.

When it comes to things like this, you really do get what you pay for. 165 bones is gonna get you a hood that fits, but doesn't fit quite right. One that doesn't have very straight edges. There will be fiberglass burrs on it, mostly underneath. Just take into consideration these things, and the fact that your painter will probably charge more for the simple fact it will require more prep work before it can be sprayed. Just something to think about before you spend 300 on a not so good hood....when you can get a great hood for like 500....
