Of the two, I like the sinister one better. I just don't like the extractor hood design personally. I would suggest the one I have as you get the extractor and the ram air design, but that would look biased. Hence I say Sinister.

I like the look of the RK Sport. Of all the hoods you are looking into, which is the lightest?

They both look nice but I'd lean towards the sinister. My favorite of the aftermarket hoods I've seen is I believe called a sting ray. It looks kind of similar to the sinister but has what looks kind of like a sting ray tail on it.

I was looked at juicedmotorsports and I ran across the sting ray. If I ever do a hood mod this is the one. http://juicedmotorsports.com/2010cam...fn_h3502p.html

the fiber glass has issues i havent heard any issues with the cf from the few i talked too. and the more i see the rksport the less i like it but it is an arm and leg cheaper.

Hey man I have the same problem ,I came to a conclusion that if you want the looks with a little efficiency get the seibon CF hood or if you want ram air and extraction for full efficiency get the RK sport mindz has ,I've read stories of CF hoods having problems too and I think the RK sport is one of the good ones , but then again I'm still confused and waiting for something good and cool to hit the market that I would like.

i am mostly going for looks, efficiency is a plus but i dont track or anything. i am leaning toward the sinister right now but i also really like the rksport ram air hood just didnt want it because mindz already has it and i dont want to copy him out of respect.
