Looking for lightweight hood
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.

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

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
