That is the Scoot hood. I don't think it would look to good on the FC though.

Definately dont think it would look good on FC. Too much going on and the lines wouldnt match the boxy FC body

i was thinking about putting this hood in to my fc's hood (i actually have a extra CF one laying around, 1600 bones for one btw )

people have commented that it would not look too good though as its too curvy and matchs fd's much better (it does look good on mines hehe)

in anycase, dont listen to any body, ifyou wanna do it, go and do it! ill support you (well not with money or with a copy of my hood but im spirit )

hmmm actually, if you give me 600 bucks (i take paypal ), ill make a copy of the vents for you out of carbon (only the vent parts, not the entire hood), let me know

rotary extreme has this without the scoop in the front. you don't want that anyway with a FMIC. 3 months shipped from japan will get you one.

well thanks for the replies... i dont need anybody to make me one as long as i have a pic to go off of, me and the guys at the body shop i work at are really good with fabbing **** up.... im thinking of doing that first hood and straightning out the lines to make it go with the FC body more and rigging up a way to catch water so it doesnt go into the engine bay.. any ideas lol?
