I doubt it and if so its going to be wayyyy over priced.. Place a WTB ad in the FC parts section. Should be around $150 local pick up, if you find one.

I paid $450 for a primo used aluminum TII hood, although I have seen some pretty decent ones for $250-300. A $150 aluminum hood is probably going to have issues.

They should be only $150-250 depending on quality. You can also get a vert aluminum hood for $50-100 depending on quality.

Mazdaspeed sells them in the online catalogue, $1000, iirc (can't check it, appears the work computer blocks the catalogue for some reason). Which makes $200-$300 for a decent used one sound a little easier - which is what I paid, having not grabbed one I spotted immediately at the local pick and pull, and by going back the next day, missing getting one for $30 that was actually in better shape than what I bought.

Check you local salvage yards. I got a TII hood for $100 & it was in great shape.

yea I wouldn't pay too much, otherwise you might as well get a carbon fiber one. And if you don't like the carbon fiber look then you can always paint it, plus it's lighter and stronger.

There is a guy in Hayward that had that same color vert hood for sale. He told me $50 bucks and it was in good condition... I just don't know his forum name. His name is Angel. This was about a year ago though so I am not sure it is still around.

Mutaku or thunkrd you know his name if you care to PM one of them.
