Personally, I'd just like to have a version like the original Scoot that fits well. RE is closed now, VIS is hit or miss fitment, and Seibon is flattened out.

I'm not the only person who has expressed these opinions on this subject, and i'm aware many replicas are made but shineauto seems to be the current leader in quality and i would much rather get it through them. Love the fitment of the FEED replica but i'm looking for something with vents more forward.

if you dont like the scoop you should buy a freakin n1 hood imo. i got to liking it thats why i picked one up.
i hate the replica where the scoop looks flatter or however you want to describe it. ruins it. mines a replica im not sure who even made it but the fit is fine.

Like I said, take the original design and make it fit. I would also like the center vent ducting to be optional, as I would like to leave it open, some might like to have it directed back to the brake lines as it did with the original Scoot. As for deleting the center vent altogether, it would be fairly easy to get a body shop to do this.

the original scoot hood has the same profile as the stock hood with added vents, the VIS hood is lumpy and looks like crap and i will agree with you on that. I would buy this hood if its made i desperately need to drop underhood temps.

If you are desparate for cooling, just get the original scoot hood. It will work 2 or 3x as effectively as the copies.
The Nostril in the front is what makes the hood effective. Think Ferrari 575 GTC and Porsche 993 GT-1.
If you really want quality, you gotta pay for it.

I went with mr.koseki (the owner of scoot sports) to 2008 Rx7 Festival at ebisu circuit. I am somewhat friends with him, if you really want it. I can ask if he can make one. He makes his hoods to order.
It will probably be not cheap, and it is only made in F.R.P
