Where do get a RE-Amemiya vented hood..
Anyone know of other suppliers other than rhdjapan that may have RE-Amemiya hoods in stock? Ordered a hood back in October, was just told today that it'll be another two months.

I've been trying to figure out if the Seibon has as aggressive vents on their TS as the Re Amemiya hood. As I have heard the Seibon fits better.

Oh yeah, to answer your question I have not seen anyone else selling one.

I bought my authentic RE-A hood from Shinku Classics
https://shinkuclassics.com/
They were at sevenstock last year and flew in Mr. RE-A for the event which was cool.

My experiences with shine leave me pretty sceptical, and I’ve seen the seibon, it’s laughable in comparison.
The re-ad9 is probably the best aftermarket glass work I’ve ever seen. It’s stunning how well it fits and is laid up. Worth the expense and wait.

It's always assumed that JDM stuff is such superior quality to replicas but I haven't always seen that either. I've had owners of the original AD9 say it doesn't fit that great either, and the zillion dollar dry carbon one doesn't even have rolled edges.
The only one I've consistently heard fit really well were genuine Mazdaspeed.

My carbon AD9 which I bought last year does not have rolled edges which was unexpected. The fit is excellent surprisingly. I looked at a handful while at sevenstock last year and was pleasantly surprised. It's not particularly strong though. I have to close it carefully and removed the hood damper kit that I had been running b/c I thought it was going to break the hood.
I also have an old school Atilla Mazdaspeed hood in the garage. That **** is stiff, a bit heavy and fits well. I would have used it but the vents are so tiny.

My FRP AD9 hood doesn’t fit that well either, but it fits a whole lot better than the Carbonmiata AD9 replica I got. The quality difference between the two was ridiculous. Other than the fit, the replica had a shoddy finish and badly molded mounting points. The only hood I got that fit perfect was the original Rotary Extreme Scoot replica they made back in 2003.

I always heard the original never fit good either. I know those pics posted above make the seibon vents seem so shallow in comparison, but I have seen other pics that seem they aren't so far apart. I also heard the seibon dots better than the original. This is why I haven't made a move on either yet lol. I am still trying to figure it out.

With shine, I had their feed replica fenders ( which were warped all to heck, the mounting flanges were 70 degrees out from where they were supposed to be, almost perpendicular to the mounting surface, totally unusable ), their burnout rear fender “blisters” (also badly warped), and burnout replica side skirts that were not dimensionally correct.
I also had one of their earlier production front ends that was excellent, hence my disappointment with the very poor quality of the other items.
Seibon had bad panel gaps.

This is an original ad9 frp, the seibon looks like the panel gaps were cut with a chainsaw in comparison. Surface finish is also much better, less “waves”.
