does anyone know if they make a carbon fiber hood for 2nd gens and if they do were can i get one



any help would be greatly appreciated :sigh:

 

hmm, not sure if they make one. i know of a group buy for a company to make one. but since i dont have a sec. gen i didnt follow up with it.

the company is called rotaryextreme.com or something similar.

 

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.

 

Are TII hoods aluminum? Or just convertible hoods?

 

I'm not sure on TII having them or not, but i know most GXL's have aluminum hoods.

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

 

yeah my GX has an aluminum hood....light as ****....i could play freezbee with it

 

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. ???
