Local pickup in southern CA is ok, but we need to lead time to make it.

personally, I think this is the best looking hood for the FC. I'm broke but see that no one has posted how great this hood is.

I've actually looked into purchasing this hood. But on the pics showing the back view, it appears that all those vents are closed. Is that true, or am I just misinterpreting the pics? The purpose of those vents is to extract air from the engine bay, and for me to get this hood it'll have to be functional. If this hood is more style over function, I'd consider your drift style hood as well given those vents are open...

even if they are closed, just cut them out? easy.

so the top piece is carbon fiber right? The skeleton is fiberglass?

Thanks to IceMark, I know that

aluminum T2 hood= 32 lbs with paint and scoop,

without insulation Steel T2 hood= 51lbs

How much does a carbon & fiberglass hood weigh? Same style if possible (turbo II)

Based on the size it should be around 22lbs or less, almost the same size as the 240sx hood. I don't have the exact weight though.

Top is carbon , bottom is fiberglass so it is like the typical carbon fiber hood.

If desired, we could make it fully carbon if you want but it would be triple the price and it wouldn't really be worth it since it would only be slightly less weight at a significant cost.

We can also make a carbon kevlar version if you like, those are about $180 more.

What's sup with a trunk, that thing is heavy as well. For the price the carbon sounds nice and light. I tried checking on the site, don't you have an OEM one that without any scoops/vents? My car runs real low as it is lol.

does this bonnet require bonnet pins or can i use the stock cable release setup?

I would strongly suggest hood bonnets with any hoood after market, they make different ones, even some flush ones to keep it clean.

Oooh, yeah that's a good point.

Can I get a price of a carbon Fiber hood to Canada.K7a4t1?
Pm me if you can Thanks.

rx7 fc3s hood
 

Hi, we just sent one to a customer in Northern California, I will ask him to take some pics over the weekend, it should arrive to his home today.

Convertible RX7 Carbon Fiber Trunks
 

Sure, I could probably make a carbon trunk for the convertible models if I can get 10 buyers. Each at $450

Also, I would be able to make kevlar as well. If the dimensions are right I can send them out Fedex and avoid the expensive freight charges.

SO does it have the removable rain covers?

Rain = moar cooler!

FC3S Carbon Fiber Hood
 

It may have the latch, but I would definitely put hood pins on it or any other aftermarket hood just in case.

We sell the genuine aerocatch hood pins, I'll try to fix the pictures on our website.

i would so buy that hood, but ive got to get my frontmount kit on it first.
ill check back later once ive got my setup done.

mmmmm tasty. Now I just need some cash... sigh

Extremely interested in carbon fiber vert trunk.........

I saw this hood on eBay same company! I figure some one on here would have talked about it! So people how was the fitment!!!!!! I know somebody had to buy this!!!

How functional is this hood as far as actual cooling goes? I've always been a little confused about the backwards air intake setup... If it works though, this would work way better than stock for me cause my radiator (obviously), intercooler & oil cooler are all mounted in the front. And with the stock vent all the air is kinda forced closer to the back of the engine and obviously is a little less efficient for my setup ><

I finally have the money for this, but it looks like the price has gone up about $50. Any chance I can get it at the special $538.02? PM sent.

I couldn't get the original price, which is understandable. Mr. Tilbury responded same day though, I look forward to receiving this beauty!

So did anyone actually the hood!! if so please post about how well it fit the car. Thanks

I bought it, it will be a few weeks til it's here and then idk when I'll get around to fitting it, the car is in pieces.

I bought it too LOL. I wanted to wait and see if some one and had something to say about how good it fits but I guess I'm too impatient. Lol

speedoflife did you get that hood yet.

Oh snap! Yes, I did. My to do list is huge and I forgot to post about this. Pics coming soon!

Here are a couple I snapped:

It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn good. There are a couple spots in the weave that get a little out of line and a small rough spot that I may be able to lightly sand and buff out. I'm happy with it, it's one of the most affordable CF hoods I've found with a bad ass vent scheme. Imperfections though they may be, they also speak to the fact that it was handmade. I did appreciate the tag under the hood with a serial number and such, I'll have to take more pics sometime. It won't go on the car very soon though. I work full time, I'm finishing an engineering degree, the car doesn't even have a motor in it and I'm still waiting on other parts. It's like life is procrastinating me.

yaaaat I finally got my hood l!! worth the money folks!!!!

RX7 FC3S Carbon Fiber Hood
 

That's great, I'm glad you like the GT Mazda RX7 FC3S Carbon Fiber Hood.

Any chance we could get some pics of this on cars, without the huge obnoxious watermark? Potentially interested in this, but would like to get a better idea of what it looks like on a car.

Also would appreciate info regarding whether I'm actually seeing a hood latch in post 20; is that a functional hood latch on a CF hood?

Finally, any solid numbers on weight of this? Has anyone measured if/how much this reduces temperatures under the hood, or if it increases airflow through the radiator?

....still hoping for pics of this without the watermark....

sorry bud I saw your post but I've been pretty busy lately and I think my motor just went south! I'll post some pictures soon as I get home I'm not sure how to do it so it might take me a while. i love it because its modest not too flashy but noticeable. it does have a functional hood latch but as stated before probably should use hood pins for safety. As far as the hood cooling the motor I would say it's better than stock making some air dams would make it way more functional.

Awesome, thanks for the cooling-related info!

Will definitely be looking forward to some proper pictures; ZN Performance damaged my hood (basically took a hammer to it, as best I can tell) while at the shop, and I'm leaning towards a new hood over trying to repair and repaint the stock one. This one seems really enticing.

Good Work
 

Looks good, is that white fc Lex King's Pro Am car?

Can you PM me with a price including shipping to 27713? Thanks

yeah that is lex kings car. i bought this hood last month and got it for 512.00 plus shipping the hood is amazing but im not putting it on the car yet bc i have plenty to do under the hood yet ha ha. i didn't get it off here though i got it from vivid racing. Wasn't sure what to think at first buying from them but everything went well.
