JimmyJimboJet 04-08-2003 01:00 AM

yeah, i thought about getting a vented hood, but most dont come with rain block off plates and it sure does rain alot down here in houston. and i dont want my intake sucking up water :( plus this one was cheap https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR

LongRX7 04-08-2003 02:38 AM

Just curious as to who makes a stock carbon fiber hood? Do you know who the manufacturer? Or who sells it? I myself already have a replica mazdaspeed in fiberglass and one in carbon fiber, but just curious as to who made yours? Thinking about selling the fiberglass one though.

Rx7Roadster 04-08-2003 10:53 AM

Very nice hood. I like the way it looks a lot.

75 Repu 04-08-2003 11:14 AM

VIS makes the hood that bought, its full carbon fiber, with the exception of the frame of the hood. Its very good quality and pretty thick. All in all, very well made hood https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

finish the sentence-



I would get it vented, pay $1999, wait 13 months to get it and put that

puppy on my Discover card. Then it would fly off from one of my drunk

friends not closing it properly. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif



You better make sure that car comes to the BBQ, otherwise tow it there

early. Hell- splurge and wash it!

rx7machine 04-08-2003 05:30 PM

CF hood replica for a TII.. that would definately be different..

Seriously now Benny, the hood is great.



About the TII CF Stock Hood: I was asking because I might be getting an S4. The stock hood is heavy as ****, plus I love the TII hood and wouldn't change anything, so a CF Stock Hood would be SO DOPE. If I ever get that TII, it'll be stock fo life.

Geoffman72 04-09-2003 01:28 PM

Yeah, stock TII hood = 50+lbs



CF stock looking replica (possibly one in the works by a member at the teamfc3s forum) = probably 5-10lbs





Even the TII aluminum hood isnt that light at about 30lbs.

75 Repu 04-09-2003 01:47 PM

.. Wow your weave looks noice Benny..

Nicely done.

FikseRxSeven 04-09-2003 11:48 PM
