I like the re ad9 hood better you know the scoot hood minus the viper intake on the front. It looks the best if you ask me.

Leave the MazdaSpeed stuff alone. Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's bad. Just means you can't afford it.

Yes i heard that, but the prices are kind of high, considering that they pay like a $1 and hour over in Japan.

there is a big difference between being able to afford something and to be willing to pay a ridiculous price for that thing. personally I can afford just about anything i want for my car, but wouldn't even think about paying that kind of money for a hood. to my mind it doesnt offer $2600 dollars worth of benefit, and a $700 strut bar is not going to do $600 more stiffening than a Cusco bar. anyhow that is not the point of this thread.

that hood is definitely hot, i like the front end too. it would be nice to see a good quality replica of both.

I'm a cheapo.....I think there are some like me. Seeing people now can buy any 'fine' carbon fiber hood for 650 shipped, why should one buy a very unique one for 2600? But, each to their own. It's not my money.

But, damn, if I won da lotto, I'd transform my car to that whole body kit.
