I'm getting ready to purchase an ST205 for my ST. But I don't know whether I want to keep the TMIC or convert to a FMIC. The TMIC would keep it more of a sleeper, but I'd want the vented style CF hood to go with. But I kinda want to have a FMIC as well. I'm thinking that which ever way I go, I'll be spending close to the same amount of money in getting a FMIC or a Vented Style CF Hood. Which would you guys recommend?

Thanks guys!

have a gt4 so here it goes once and for all. The hood thing is merely cosmetic on the GT 4 as the hood has the heat shield material underneath as all cars. So i cant really see how you cant use the oem hood. Yes it gets hotter under the GT4 hood but that's about it. As its water-to-air heat and clean air is not that important as witha FMIC.


rubbish, you can easily remove the underbonnet lining and fibreglass shielding and still retain the timing belt snorkel. Thenm the vent is functional
directly above the manifold
