Hey guys,

Before I begin-- Yes, Ive searched through this site extensively as well as google and other places for my answer. I literally cant find what im looking for anywhere, for any price. Ive followed a lot of leads, but it ends up that the only way to get it is from Japan for thousands of dollars and months of shipping (plus I dont know Japanese so thats a dead end to begin with). I need it pretty much ASAP.

Does anyone know where I could get a fiberglass (no, not carbon fiber) hood for the FC? I dont care if it has vents or not. I do not need/want a TII hood. NA style; completely flat and simple, is what I prefer. Im pretty desperate so price isnt much of an issue.

The reason? Basically Im making a somewhat custom hood and need a fiberglass platform to mold a vent into.

Hell, if you're really good with fiberglass and can make a strong, clean and quality one for me that would be kickass as well.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

 

I don't think you will find a plain N/A style fiberglass hood - period.

searched eh? - huh...found that in a couple minutes hehe.......its vented but its fiberglass - he'll probably sell ya one of those if you ar ethat desperate for FG.....

 

R-Magic maybe?

I can get you the hood for around $1000 plus or minus a bit depending on how the math works out. There is still the issue of it taking a month to get here on the slow boat from Japan, and it's vented....


But at least it's a sure thing right?

 

$600 for one off http://www.andysautosport.com

 

making a vent for the vmount, eh?

yeah i dono all i ever found is the expensive *** japanese stuff.
cant do anything with an aluminum n/a hood?

 

suprised no one has mentioned me yet. I make a vented hood for a decent price though I have been slow lately. I dont really feel like making another for a while as I have one going out the door this week to australia. www.rx7pro.com

 

that hood is SWEET!! god damn

 

Classicauto did mention you He linked to your thread..Still waiting on your second version hood here though :P

 

BTW HOWS THE FRONT LIP GOING?

 

We make them, its not a bolt on item though. We have a mold that we make hoods for the race cars for it has the headlight doors molded in with it but its marked to be able to cut that area out easily. If you are going to play with adding a scoop you could also modify it to bolt on and latch down. We attach them with 4 hood pins so they can be taken all the way off to work on the engine easier. They weigh about 11 lbs.

 

I actually did see that hood, and its not what I need/want. The vent im getting is about 3x3ft, and wouldn't work with that hood. Sorry.

I think I might just go with the Andy's Autosport one. Thanks Jager. The picture they have for it is totally wrong though. Wish they had a better one.

Thanks but no thanks. That hoods not quite what im looking for. What I was trying to get at was I need a hood thats as simple as possible so that i can just cut the whole center out and put in my own vent. $1000 and a couple months isnt neccesary if i'll just be cutting out the vent they already have in there.

However, if you can find me a D-MAX hood for FC at the same price i'd take it in a second.

Thanks to everyone who's replied! If anyone knows of one for less than $600, let me know.

EDIT: Holy crap, look what I just found off Andy's site: http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...93&_v=vmd00281 Its an 'OEM Replacement' Carbon Fiber hood for $450. I think ill give em a call and see if thats too good to be true.

 

hey treez you have a pic of the type 2 hood on your site?

and has anyone actually bought the vented hood from the andy site... it shows basically what you'll get but not a actuall pic.

 

beware of andy's auto sport. everyone I've heard of thats bought something from them has had major problems with them. they SUCK!!!! DON'T BUY FROM ANDY'S AUTO SPORT!!!!!

 

I will be making that type two hood in the next few months. I have to finish that lip really soon adn the bodykit and then after that I will go ahead and git r done.

Guys I have to say though I really like this idea -

 

wouldnt that be the msport fc hood? imo really nice but not really functional :/

 

I think if you flip the scoop around on that hood so that it pulls hot air out it would be a better design.

 

werd... then the V-mount guys could us it as well.
