all FC hoods are interchangeable
just look for aluminium one if u want to save weight
if u run FMIC, its better to use NA hood or vented hood

WRONG. Just depends on where you are. In real english the soft top is a HOOD. In American wanna-be english a hood is a thing that covers the engine, but that's a bonnet in real english. It's not because the Americans got their dictionary mixed up that they are right, ok?

Thanks Rotary Emotions, I though there was some confusion
In any case, I found this company in the UK and they seem very professional

Ricco, ETCs hoods are nowhere close compared to Mazdas. Much much worse. Who's wanting one? Do I know him?

Well, as far as i know, we are on US based forum where everybody who wants to get answer from other users does speak/write US english (except for some rednecks which are americans, but yet have to learn write).

Hmm, you got a point. But since we are the european part, we might aswell use english instead. Anyway, I think we all know what is meant now, so let's try to help.
I haven't got a Cabrio, so I never went searching for a soft-top for that. All I know is that Mazda does ask a bit of money for it...

Of course there is no reason for flames, but i think thats the purpose of being on US forum and speak US english whenever is it better or worst. Being 'babylonian' will not help us. I personaly learnt most of my english in USA and sometimes i don`t understand UK folks. And for that reason i am here and not on mazdarotaryclub forum (UK). Since i am Czech, i might start speaking czech, you might start speaking belgian and u know where it all will end.

So please being this considered like rule which is only helping us to be understood.
We speak the language of the board and majority of its users

I was thinking about these tops too but how do you know they are good ?
Travelintrevor, did you buy one of these ?
I guess Mazda charges at least 5 times that price so you might as well try.
