(BODY) Fiberglass Scooped Hood: Help me find it!

Hey guys,

I used to have this style hood:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/135943





It's a Fiberglass 1st Gen Hood, that has TII scoop molded in already. (one piece) The nice thing was that it used all the original factory hardware.

I had it at my mother-in-law's house along with my still-to-be-mounted Mariah mode 1 kit.

When I picked up my widebody kit, I noticed the hood and other small parts were missing. Turns out they were a victim of hurricane Katrina/Wilma last year.

The problem is I bought this hood almost 3 years ago, and I can't remember what site I bought it from. I do remember it was a site that had to do with V8 conversions on RX-7's. I know it wasn't Grannysspeedshop.com though.
Also, it wasn't the CP Racing mold of the scoop either.

I used the Search button here, and I am not having any luck. I am trying to see if you guys can collectively find out where I can get this hood again.

Thanks in advance.

that scoop looks exactly the same, if not identicle to the hood scoop that cpracing sells...you could always buy it and fibreglass it in...but I'm assuming that you are looking for a completely fibreglass hood with t2 scoop...?

Exactly. Like the one I had, and never got to enjoy.

Nope, the hoods Manntis was making didn't have a scoop, they had a vent

Sorry DF, no clue where you'd get one of those. Let us know if you find it.

If I had bought one I would have made a thread about it.... maybe you did.. search under your specific username for "hood" and see what you come up with.
