Where to find a turbo II hood?

Alright, since you guys are awesome at answering questions and know more about sites/stores than i do, i figured you could help.
I already searched the forums and a bunch of sites for new hoods, but i couldn't find any. All the hood coming up on google were non-turbo hoods. I've got an 88 GXL (N/A) and i want to put a TII hood on it.

So my question is, where should i look or do you know of a site or company that sells TII hoods?

try the "parts for sale/wanted" section of the forums here.

Post a new thread "wtb: TII hood"

just a warning, a lot of users are anti-rice (*ahem* me) so you might get some annoyed people that think a turbo hood on a n/a is rice.

that's true....Aluminum NA hoods a little bit lighter than aluminum TII hoods. I can get ahold of one of those.

Edit: Just saw that you are not in my area. Good luck.

you can find replicas of both hoods at fc3s.org in carbon fiber and in fiberglass and i hear the quality is good. I make custom hoods for fc3s and different designs as well. Also keep in mind that you are better off loooking for one locally than having one shipped as shipping will cost more than the hood more than likely.
