FL Alloy non scoop OE hood?

Ok, I did a search but didn't come up with much on the topic. I've heard mention that there was an OE aluminum hood without a scoop like the TII hood. Is this true, and if so, how common are they? I need a hood for my FC and since I'm building a 100% electric RX7, I want to save as much weight as possible, but I don't want the scoop. What do I need to look for to find one of these hoods? Thanks!

All convertibles have the aluminum non-turbo hood, and some coupes do as well. If you're going to a junkyard, just bring a magnet to test.

Oh ok, so they really aren't that rare or anything. I would think most people want the TII hood anyway.
