Id be interested in a TII looking scoop that could feed a N/A motor, or one with louvers cut in the rear corners to cool the engine compartment.

Something like the 87-89 300zx hood scoop was very popular back in the days. This maybe the look you are talking about. I like this look better than the TII style which is much more subtle IMO.

That's sweet.

I also like the blue vented one on the first page, but without the "lip" around the vent.

I agree the old school Z type scoop was very cool. I had one on my RX2 back in the days.

I'm putting in a FMIC, so a scoop is pointless.
I can help out with colored CF hood if you're still looking

He does, or is supposed to, but they aren't for sale yet apparently. He was supposed to have these hoods done like 2 years ago

It is my hood and I will be selling them from now on, just not on this site.....
Do you want to know what's really funny is how many people said they would buy a flat CF hood, I go to a lot of trouble to make it happen then no one buys them. Oh, hang on a munite, that's not funny it just straight sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd take a fiberglass OEM hood with a centered TII scope and with metal supports for hinges and latch.

That is why I went to the effort/spent a heap of money getting molds all the way to Cali from down under. $165 shipping is pretty reasonable in my opinion

Yep. Same here. I bought a fiberglass Mold with that same exact setup.
It's only the "top" of the hood, so I would have to use it the the OEM (metal) underside or something.

Hell, I would give the Mold away if somebody made me two hoods with it.

when I get my credit card paid off, one of your hoods is on my list of things to buy, along with a new set of wheels, a D-SLR, and a Gary Fisher Pro 29er.
