Can you post pics of your car? Need to see what your exterior looks like to see which one would flow better.

Do you know what the fitment is like between the two hoods, I know replica aftermarket hoods sometimes don't fit very well.

Given that you are still on OEM wheels I would put that money towards wheels before getting a hood. An aftermarket hood is too aggressive for stock wheels IMO.

What marcus said.

I would save the money foe new wheels or used ones. If you can get some spacers 20mm at the back and 15mm at the front it will pop your wheels more and I promise it will look nicer !

I rolled 19s for a year and thats the way I did it.

Body kits/aftermarket bumpers, sides, hoods all usually look tacky on our cars with stock wheels. Get your rims 1st then work on the body. Just my .02

get rims first before you do anything else. or at least toss on spacers to those OEM to pull them out further to even match with the Inven front right now.

Not sure what the terminator hood looks like, found one pic but not really a fan. To answer your question I would go with the AMS slayer but like everyone else said the money could be better spent..

If you must change your hood, I would go with the CF AMS slayer hood.

The Terminator hood is a bit too squarey for the G35, whereas the AMS slayer hood kind of flows with the g35's curves.

can you post pics of the hoods? i might be interested in a hood in the near future.

Again, i would spend that money on the rims first. As mentioned above its too aggressive for stock wheels
