Does anybody have this hood?

 

Here is another pic of the same hood.
BTW, R E Amemiya makes this hood.

 

I am minly interested in the fit and the finish of the original RE Amemiya hood.

Oh, if there is data on underhood temp reduction with this hood, I would be interested in that too

 

You need Inukai!! lol

 

 

I know he can get them but would he know about the quality of the hood? Maybe.

 

BTW, the front end of that blue FD is hideous but at the same time somewhat appealing to me



I think it must be the puckered up look of the "mouth".

 

You're right. I don't know if he knows about the construction or even if Jason at JT would know. I thought there was a looooong thread about this hood but I can't seem to find it.

BTW, here's another pic of the hood. Looks quality to me.

The pic does not show the edges of the hood so I can't really tell how well it is made.

 

is the fitment on the fiberglass the same as the cf version? i also contacted inukai, but he has yet to respond. can anyone start a group buy on this? i would love this hood.

The fitment is the same as the original Scoot hood. The gaps on the sides are larger than normal but I guess it's the style. Scoot Sports is good friend with RE Amemiya so maybe they are made by the same contractor, hence the same gap around the hood.

Mine is coming in a month or so.

yes there was a pretty big thread on this a lil while back. lotsa pics

 

Hmmm... i must have missed that thread.

I guess the other question i have about this hood is whether it would interfere with front strut bar.
Anybody know? Chuck?

BTW, Chuck, are you going to make replicas of these also? Say, YES.

Ed

 

The pic I posted has a strut bar there. Didn't you see that?

Probably no replica for this one unless there are 20 prepaid buyers. I don't think so with the current economy though.

Hi

How about $1295 shipped?
The quality is No. 1 of course.

Thanks

 

in fiberglass or cf?

luigi

 

No I didn't have my bifocals on

 

That sounds good if it is for a carbon-fiber one.

I do have some other things that I want to buy from Japan at the same time, though.

 

Sorry

CF $1295 shipped
Fiber $980 shipped

 

You think RE would skimp on quality?

 

You never know
