I recently purchased a 1980 Rx7 and there is a large 8"dia hole cut into the hood for a hood scoop and it looks horrendous, I have been searching the internets, however with no avail finding either the silly ricer carbon fiber hoods (not the look I am going for and a bit on the pricey side round 800) or the fairly heavy stock hood. Does anyone know where I could either get an unfinished, non gloss, cheaper carbon fiber hood, or a fiberglass one?

 

any good sources for either custom or stock Rx7 body panels both exterior and interior, such as doors, hood, and interior paneling? All I have been able to find is fenders and side skirts, or non stock hoods.

 

try the classified section under parts for sale/wanted under 1st generation

 

Looks nice, only 15 lbs vs 40 lbs and price isn't too bad...

the rotaryshack carbon hood looks good like Matt Hey posted a link to. plus if you don't like the carbon look, just paint it... (same with the fiberglass versions...)

 

you can buy the carbon fiber hood and just paint it to match your car...

 

I am going to paint it regardless of what hood I get, but it makes NO sense to buy a marked up hood cause it looks nice when a fiberglass or unfinished carbon fiber one would do just fine. thank-you very much for the link that one is about 100 bucks cheaper than what I had been seeing, and other than fixing the current one with some sheet steel it is my first option

 

don't forget you get what you pay for. 90% of fiberglass and carbon hoods fit like garbage

 

depending on the vendor.
