I've seen a couple cars on the internet with them, so i know some company has to make them. And money isnt really an issue right now for it... I just need to find the people who make them

I still dont understand why someone hasnt made one of those in america...its just money to be made. Im sure even though there are a LOT of people who would rather have: vented hood, reverse scoopo, NA style, the TII hood is like a peace of meat to vultures on the forum.

I like that a lot.

I always thought it was dumb of mazda to do function over form for the hood scoop... It would not take an engineering marvel to make it centered

why don't you guys just contact fiberimages? they made impreza carbon fiber trunks when the gc8 guys got money together and asked them to do it. all you have to do is show them the money and have them hold it untill they are done. easy

That hood looks pretty nice. I know a guy who's an awesome Mazda mechanic whom has a couple of FC's himself... he has family in Japan. I bet he could get some of these shipped over along with anything else at better rates because his dad works in a shipping company in Japan. Give him a call and let him know Mario sent you...

His contact info:
Gen at SXPi in San Diego, CA (858)536-9100

Let him know Mario sent you
