ON Original Scoot Hood for 1993+ FD3S

Hi;

Not new to the forum, just forgot my password and an OLD email renders recovery useful. Was Batmobile.

IN any event, I seek an ORIGINAL scoot Hood, I have heard they are no longer made, but it seems they had the best fitment. Have seen a Seibon, and the gaps were horrible and thankfully I saw it with my own eyes today, I nearly bought a new one.

If anyone can help me source an Original, I would be grateful. Of if you know of a brand that has proper gaps, either carbon fiber or FRP will do at this point.

In Toronto, Vaughan area

Cheers!

My pleasure. I've purchased from them several times and it has always worked out well.

They are still available but unless they are in stock, the delivery date is truly unknowable. The hood is made by a company that does the aero for several Super GT teams and as a result, side projects like the Scoot hood are filler projects with very low priority. Car Shop Glow carry more inventory on them than most places. Good luck!

I like the Scoot hood.

Remember the first time I saw one.

Anybody know if it will fit with an upgraded SMIC, or if you NEED a FMIC?
