Fiberglass Hood?
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.

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

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 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 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.
