I need Carbon Fiber hoods for my FD and my FC
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the Mazdaspeed replica Carbon Fiber hood for the FD. And also, if anyone knows where I can find a hood for my FC.
Check here:
this is the beginning of the thread on the CF mazdasspeed hoods we make:

Here's more info
Ok guys, ready for big news….
Well ready or not here it comes.
First, sorry about the slight delay as of late, Attila’s laptop has been commandeered by his work so his response time has slowed a bit. Hopefully in the near future we’ll clear that up, but in the meantime patience is a virtue.
Good News:
1.Carbon Fiber hoods will be sold at 900 each, identical to the previous pictures. This 50 dollar savings from original projected costs is brought to you by constantly badgering our manufacturer until he forgets the price he quoted us. (need pictures see earlier in thread)
2. Carbon Fiber door sills will be available at a cost of $225, quite high, as our manuf. Guy has to throw out every 3rd or 4th one from the excessive bubbles. (need pictures see earlier in thread)
3.We’re attempting to lower the costs on the CF hoods even more with a group buy. Here’s the breakdown
1-9 hoods………………900 each
10-19 hoods……………850 each
20-29 hoods……………800 each
29+ hoods……………...yeah right, there can’t be that many “carbon freaks” out there. But if it happens it will be a screaming deal.
This group buy ends in 2 weeks. So let us know by the 14th of May.
This leads us to the bad news…
1. the cost of doing the FG hoods is taking it’s toll. The low volume we’re selling lately will result in a jump from 490 to 590 by May 14th as well. This will cover our box storage costs, me moving each hood across the county in my truck costs, sacrifices to the wife gods…. You get the idea. Sorry it had to happen, but not for 2 weeks!
And for some hot tips (insider info) rumors, don’t ask how long, etc…
In order of earliest projected completion:
-We’re working on CF A-pillar covers with a molded boost gauge, also have the column mount gauge pod available soon, maybe in CF!
-We are getting closer to production of a stock mount intercooler kit to take advantage of the vented hood. Should be similar to M2 large(CWR), angled forward, vented, piping, etc…
-To match all the rest of this stuff we should be getting closer to the Cold air induction box that will fit with the rest of this stuff, can you say M2-style, more filter area, better looking and cheaper? I knew you could.
- Replica 99 spec rear wing, retaining all features of the one from Mazda, except being painted.
All this stuff should be as good a deal as these hoods, but the more interest we have, the easier to sell the idea to the manufacturing guys.
Please direct orders to the e-mail:

e-mail the above address to get current info. I think we may have the price closer to 850 for carbon now, not sure though, ask Attila, he handles the $ end of things.
