Where to get aftermarket hoods?

Well I know there are plenty of threads on body kits for the FC but Im curious about hoods. There are plenty of options for the FD but I have found little for the FC. Ive seen some in pictures but nothing on the regular rx-7 web pages I visit. Im thinking something along the lines of a reverse scoop or something that may be functional with a FMIC setup. I know about the replacement parts for the TII hood but I was just curious if anyone knew of any nice full replacement hoods. Thanks in advance.

look manb this is pretty simple. You cna import a hood from japan thru corskport or takakaira and it will cost you around 1300-1600 after shipping. You can get one from www.speedmachineperformance.com and I hear they great quality. Or if you want something that isnt stock you can always hit me up now or sometime in the future when i get myself together. Pretty much all of your options.
