Seibon Carbon Fiber OEM or TS hood?

Someone vandalized my OEM hood so instead of buying a stock one I'm going with carbon fiber. Which one would you get and why? It's a DD and I'm just wondering if the venting on the TS will pose a threat to anything during daily TX weather.

If you have any pics of the TS please show me.

Thanks

Stock hood. It's lighter and better quality.

CF on black looks nice... i would say for the OP to go with OEM CF... depending on color, i kind of like the design ofthe OEM hood...

The vents look nice on the TS, and it's unique which sets my car apart just a little bit. I asked about weight and the seibon TS and seibon OEM are about the same - it's all look preference.

Intake is nice. If you happen to find a 10" vacuum hose laying around let me know cuz I couldn't find it and I had to improvise.

Maybe the TS is too large of a step toward one of the aggressive carbon fiber hoods. Have you considered the CW style?
