I'd actually prefer one in FG... How does one go about purchasing one. I've been looking for a good reversemount hood.

Sweet car man. Random question for anyone, just wondering cuz of the body kit- does anybody think ill have any issues with a gpsports kit and the stock 91 coupe 15in rims and stock suspension? Will the kit scrape the ground or should it be fine? i have pretty smooth streets in my area but still.......just curious

That hood is the OEM Turbo II in carbon. The hood he has on there is different now.... :-( carbon fiber only one in the states? *tear... I think i'm going to have to go cry into my pillow... but congratulations on having the one and only rx7 like that.

I'll just have to become rich and shell out the couple grand to get the ayo hood...
