Didn't bother to look at either links. But I choose OEM Style. Just looks better, imo.

I heard the VIS Invader hood helps cool the engine and will create downforce.

hahha downforce is bullshiz.. youd have to be goin 100+ to have it actually happen... and for cooling the engine.. theres no need for it anyways.. unless your turboing or something... but even that still wouldnt need it unless you build engines like a moron.

Do you think the VIS OEM hood is worth $310 plus $150 Shipping? If I get the invader it would be $300 plus $44-$70 shipping.

OEM, but I've seen a few bad products from ViS. About 50/50 though. Search ViS in the forums, Im sure youll form you own opinion after your research.

Default 99 Civic Carbon Fiber hood

I decided to go with the VIS OEM carbon fiber hood. I got it for $200 plus about $50 for shipping. It is used but I think it is worth it. Here is the link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...70552
