Nice Eric!

 

I have that hood for my car but im going to cut more vents outta it though. One for more cooling to cuz its a shotty job but what do you expect for $400.00 dollars.

 

Okay, I'm still a newb, and I'm gonna embrace this newbness by asking a possibly newb question.







What are those pins/clips on the front of the hood for?

 

they are hood pins, they hold the hood down in case the latch fails or in alot of cases if you don't have a latch anymore

 

I got my RE Amemia hood.. it's super light and looks bad ***, great craftsmanship...

only problem is it was flexing and pushing up about a 1" at 60 kph, so I added hood

pins in the corners just above the head lights and tested it to 200kph , no more flex...



JTImport, I also ordered the GTII wing in the black and white adds towards the rear of the current

RX-7 Magazine for 79,800 Yen... It looks and mounts the same as the RE Amemia one for about 1/2

the price and it's carbon fiber as well.. It should be here by christmas , so I'll post some pic's around that time..

 

Damn I love that Petit hood.





Someone hook me up yo!

 

Hello Dragon, which versino did you get? CF or FRP? Where is it sticking up 1" just going 60 km/hr? That

some crazy **** I don't want to hear because mine is showing up by the end of January.

Nice to see you come over this way.. :yum:



Carbon Fiber one.. it was bowing out on both sides above the fenders so I put hood pins just above the headlights where the rubber piece is and it fixed it like a charm.. the hood weighs at least half or less than the stock hood and it's pretty as **** with great craftsmanship.. My panspeed front bumper takes in a **** load of air so that may be some of my problem and I have the rain guards in under the ducts yet so that probably added to the air pressure pushing up on it... If you make copies you may want to run a peice of aluminum down the sides to reinforce it some...



I'm still waiting for you to give me a deal on a set of carbon fiber flush mount headlights by the way..

I see. I saw that Green RE Greddy 9 car at 2002 tokyo autosalon and the AD hood 9 on the car has the same kind of problem you described. I thought it's just the prototype error. I guess not.



I will make a copy of the AD hood 9 since so many people in the US like it but it's pretty damn hard to get it. I ordered mine 3 months ago and it's still not done yet.



If you like my sleek light kit, just send me an email at rotaryextreme@aol.com. I will give you a special price on it. It will be smarter to get the HID version though since the Japanese HID options are so damn expensive.
