Debate...CF Hood or Koni?!?

Carbon Fiber hood at a 30% discount from Eurogear or Koni Coilovers?!?!

Scared to do suspension work before winter seeing as I would hate to ruin it right off the bat without putting any miles on it to break it in.

Have a group-buy through Audizine that's at 15+ for a 30% discount on the Carbon Fiber hood so i can pick one up for $525. It's basically like paying full price but picking up some locking hoodpins and shipping for no cost.

But I just am wondering what everyone else thinks.

I'd go with suspension. You'll probably feel like you're getting more out of it. It will have a profound affect on your driving experience. You're going to feel it every time you drive (for better or worse).

A hood... not so much. Probably more show than go... Sure it will save you some weight, but the car is pretty heavy anyway, so an extra few Lbs probably won't make a difference for performance.

What are your priorities?

The carbon fiber hood pics I've seen so far do not seem to have a nice of a fit, especially the line where the hood meets the headlights. It looks like a big gap/sloppy fit.
