Save yourself some money and get a aluminum one, they weight nothing anyway.

I agree. Chances are that any CF hood you get is going to require hood pins.

GXL's have steel hoods. TII's, convertibles, and sport models had aluminum hoods.

Actually, I don't believe the AL hoods are model-specific. All T2s and convertibles have them..that is known. However, you can have an SE, GXL, GTU, GTUs, or any other rx7 w/ an AL hood...my buddy has an '86 SE w/ an AL hood..but my '88 SE came w/ a steel one...it may have been part of a different package..dunno.

It's hit or miss with some cars. It's hard to tell if a hood is the same one that came with the car unless you know the entire history of the car. In Canada TII's have steel hoods. ???
