Question FC3S Reverse Vent hood Scoop. Where do I find one???

Ok kids, I've searched all over and can't find a place that sells a reverse vent replacement TII hood scoop. years ago I knew of plenty of places but now, when I finally need it I can't find the damn things.

Anybody know where I can get one similar to the old RE-Amemiya ones? Or anything decent, I just want it to be a direct replacement for the stock scoop.

Thanks for the help.

I had 2 at one point, but I put one on my car and sold the other.


I got them from 87GTR, but it took a long time to get them in and I think they stop making them period.

ShineAuto sells a replica of the RE reverse vent.


**EDIT**

Oh, wait. I think it's the closed scoop they make.

__Tires / Wheels__
235/40r17 front
245/40r17 rear
Advan Siena Gen 1 Wheels 17x8 35offset, 17x9 40offset.
7/32 wheel spacers all around. (5.5mm)






I have seen the vents on Ebay before. I guess you just have to get lucky and just come across one. You can also try some people that can import stuff from Japan and try to request one new or used.
