RX2 hoods
Does anyone know if the RX2 sedan and coupe hoods are interchangeable? And also what about the trunk lid too?
|
I would think so, If I'm not mistaken its all the same from the windshield froward. I'm not sure about the trunk.
|
Hoods are the same, trunk lids are different between coupe & sedan.
Speaking of hoods & trunk lids, has anyone seen the carbon fiber ones on eBay in person? They look to be pretty decent quality. I was emailing with the guy who makes them and I guess he just finished some trunk lids. They look like coupe lids, not sure if they're going to do sedan lids but I'll try to find out. Mike |
I picked up a hood from a coupe and fitted into my sedan.
|
hoods are the same,trunk lids are different.
|
speaking of old school parts, Im looking for a passenger side fender for a rx3? I know someone has to have one in so-cal.....
|
Thanks guys. I was also looking at that carbon fiber hood on ebay. They are located in San Diego which is pretty close to me. I might pick one up. I'll let you know how the quality is.

yes... please post here the quality of these parts... you sat he makes trunk lids now also??? how much are they? thanks in advance

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing on the trunk lid. He didn't confirm if he was making the sedan trunk lid, which is the one I would need anyway so we'll see..
I was actually working on a group buy rate with him, anyone interested? Maybe I should start a thread on it if there's enough interest. I want 2 myself and I have another friend in the bay area who wants one. I'm in Sac though so they will have to be shipped. He said shipping would be nearly the same for 1-8 hoods so I'm trying to get at least 4 for this area. Perhaps if we had 8 people committed the price would drop even more. I can ask him about it. Shoot me a PM if you're interested. If anyone picks one up in person definitely post their opinions on it. thanks, Mike |
yeah i hit the dude up...ima swing by his shop this weekend...Ima see if the guy lets me take pictures of the trunk and the hood...and if so i will post pics...
I will also check and see if the guy makes any other carbon fiber products for the duce...like the fenders and other nick nacks like that... Looking at the trunk thats made out of carbon fiber looks way nice, and the quality looks really good as well...but who knows till he/she see it...Im just waiting for a response and some information from the dude to get an address from him... |

Yeah, this guy is a real slacker. I was going to go buy his shop on Friday and maybe pick up a hood, but he never answers his phone or returns his voice messages. Maybe he went out of town or something? Still.... how hard is it to return a phone call? I thought we were in a recession, but yet there are still people out there with businesses that don't give a damn. I just don't get how these people make a living. :dunno:

Naw, I didn't bid as that trunk lid will not fit my sedan. I did however get a response from the guy on ebay. He told me that he is on vacation and will not be back until this thursday. Let me know how the dash turns out for your duece. I want to get an aluminum dash for mine too. :dunno:
Anyways the guy here on the forum and you have a few open convo's with him owns and drives that black primered sweet fucking drag car mentioned that mazda rob maybe the guy were looking for...Mazda rob sold his duce for 6g's then the customer sent him another 13g's to have a sweet 13pp built and dropped in before it was delievered...Ask him where the shop up north by you so we can make something happen!!! |
