that hood is such a piece of work. i have been looking at it for some time now, but was worried about the fitment. how is it? and..is that the fbg replica or the real deal?

one more question......do the blocking plates for the louvres attach to the hood itself, or do they like slide in or out w/o using some type of fastener?

looks good....they weren't lying when they said that there can be no strut bar with that hood..

Hi, the fitment is great and it is the fiberglass replica. The blockplates attach to the hood with some fasteners so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, I have the factory strut bar and the hood closes with no problems whatsoever.

Sorry to say GUYS..

That hood is UGLY..
TO me the HOOD makes the RX7 look like a
Toyota Celica.. Sorry just my Opinion.

Only hood to go with a FD3 is a Mazdaspeed/replica..

i was lookin at one of the pics and I think that might be caused by his bumper sagging in the front a little bit.. if you look around the headlights you can see the gap increasing

does that gap between the hood and bumper count as an intake too??

and it doesnt look like the bumper is sagging. the gap between the bumper and headlights looks very small/normal.

i like the fact that everyone has opinions, and freely share them...that is cool. but have you all noticed that every picture that is posted, whether it be a forum member's car, or even an unknown rx7, someone always talks **** about the gap at the front of the hood. or hey, your bumper is sagging. 99 out of 100 pics get this comment...well, guess what.....that gets old. you may not have noticed, but there is no hood latch installed. maybe there won't be, that is ok.......it just bugs me that everyone always says something about a gap here or there. well, none of these cars are perfect.....they all have imperfections.

sorry to bitch, that has just always bugged me....and by no means is this post intended for anyone in particular.....

I can honestly say that the scoot cf hood is for sure my fave hood of all time. It's an amazingly beautiful piece of craftsmanship and definetially doesn't distract from the car. That's assuming that its a reeal dark color in the first place :P.

I didn't have a hood latch when the hood was closed so that's why it's sligtly up. BTW my bumper is NOT sagging.

There is no gap between my headlights and bumper. It's perfectly fine.

its his opinion! why do you have to be a bitch about it?? (and if you really did not give a **** about his opinion, you would not have been as hostile towards him).

oh yeah...i think your knockoff hood is ugly. well, i think the real Scoot hood is ugly too.

JUST MY OPINION!

also, why does it say "Scoot hood" in your sig and in the subject title, when in fact it is NOT a Scoot hood??

is there anything in my post saying the car sucks or is a piece of ****? did i insult anybody? no I didn't think so... all i said was it MIGHT be sagging a little bit so GO **** YOURSELVES maybe it's just the angle but the gap does increase... you guys are such a bunch of ******* ********.... seriously...
