Gemini Customs Reverse Cowl, FI EVO VII, or DGM Ram Air hood on BLACK ES?? POST PICS!

So my big decision is weather to get the Gemini Customs Reverse Cowl CF hood, Fiber Images CF EVO VIII, or DG Motorsports CF Functional Ram Air Hood. I would get black mesh.. I have an 02' black mica es..stock exterior except tints all the way around w/ visor (coming soon). I have seen so many pictures of p5's and mp's with these hoods..just never black ones. If anyone has any pics of black protege's with these or even the other evo hoods please post and that would help a WHOLE LOT! Thanks for the input!!!

Just opinions welcome!!

How much of a hp/ or wtvr else of an increase does the dgm ram air hood provide with their custom airbox that deflects water/stone..modified with a aem cai?
 
where can you even buy these hoods???

DEXTER- how is your fitment..from ur pics it looks like the front is hanging out about ur right headlight
 
I like the Gemini Customs Reverse Cowl the best out of all the vented cf hoods. Looks sweeet.
 
Hate to tell ya, but you better check off the FI Evo VII hood off your list. That is only for the 99-00 Proteges which have a differently shaped hoods.

Does the ram air make any noticable increase? If so how much? I have a pic of the airbox setup.. The rain/rocks/etc are deflected when the enter the scoop is what I was told by dgm.

Carbon fiber Ram Air Hood Retail $1095.00
Forum Price $695.00 (With AEM cold air intake package) + shipping
Forum Price $550.00 (Without AEM cold air intake package) + shipping
(the aem package includes a cut/modified aem cai with a custom fabricated airbox that all works together..thats why it cost so much more.. Even though I have a AEM CAI already..I would still have to get this I would think to make it functional.
