all verts have an aluminum hood. all turbos have aluminum hoods (if its steel its not oem, keep in mind the t2 hood is over $1000, so people used to steal em).
anything else is a crapshoot, it might have steel or aluminum.

Are you 100% sure? Is there something I can see that says this...because the one '87 was all original w/ low miles; I find it hard to believe that they would have replaced the hood w/ a steel one for no reason...and to have two from the same year, made within 6 months of each other both having steel hoods? Dunno, Mazda probably won't be able to tell me, I know more about their cars then they do at my local Mazda dealer....
