vented hood?
Does any one know where to purchase a hood for the 2nd gen? I am looking for a hood that has the Evo styl, not really sure how to describe it kind looks like somewhat a V in the front the vent does. Lot of hondas have them. I saw a few 2nd gens with them but dont know where they got them. anyone have any input?

Anything that, a lot of Honda's have, you DON'T WANT. But uh, you're gonna have to buy a hood scoop, and custom mold it into you're hood. Apparently, things that lots of HONDA'S HAVE, manufacturers for FC's don't make. Now, FD's are another story..

well the hood im talking about its a bit different that just molding a hood scop on there. I only mentioned honds cause cause it was an example. I have seen Rx7 with this type of hood but they never mentions where they got it from.l I am guessing they has to be a company that offeres them.

Yea thats the hood. Do you have any without the center line in there? Do you know what I mean. makes it look like two vents. Either way is that the fiberglass hood or Carbonfiber hood? Pretty pricey. But very nice looking for sure.

yeah, ummm thats not an rx-7 in case you didn't notice.
domestically available vented hoods for FC are few are far between, try contacting raceonusa for their Dmax hood or autoRnD is supposed to have one coming out pretty soon. I have pics of it, but i'm not letting the cat out of the bag yet if they haven't themselves.

HAHAHAHAHAHA................damn that sucks........i like these hoods:
looks a bit like an R-magic hood.
no clue about this one but it's my favorite:
i'll prolly end up buying the cheap honda airvents and make a custom vented hood similar (actually a bit better) than this one.

You might be able to find a hood from Bomex, I know they make a body kit for the FC you might be able to find the hood you want from them. I dunno how expensive they are though.....

I make hoods on a custom basis for now, too busy to really produce, soon I hope to free up some time and to finish off the rest of my projects and new hood, and yes HeliumRush your hood should go out this week, I am finishing it off, and for this reason I am not taking many more orders.
