just sold my oem hood and have a carbon fiber one on order. gotta remember i'm in a mk5 though, so i'm not sure if the mk6 has more offerings. i'd like vents like the OP's though.
If I could do it all over again, i'd probably get the same exact kit. I like it a lot and all of the issues i had were user error. basically i didn't block off the 2nd lower wastegate bung, so i was overboosting which lead to blown up intercooler hoses and a broken throttle body. once i fixed that, i connected my n75 and it runs great. boost comes in pretty early and i'm at full boost right around 4k. plenty of midrange so i don't have to worry about downshifting to pass or anything. if anything i would have done this sooner and quit trying to make a stock turbo fast. all the bolt ons in the world and i still couldn't beat a stock 5.0. now i hook better and i'm much faster.
my bottom end is built with IE rods and calico coated bearings. stock pistons, rings, etc. and stock head.
