Japanese vented hood thread lets see if we can get anymore info on this hood. I would love to have a local aftermarket place get aholdof this mold so we can have this hood produced! Here a link w/ a little more info. I quess this hood is carbon fibre and is very pricey. And comments or info is welcome! https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...ighlight=Japan.

 

I also would love too see this hood come to North America, but there are a few things stopping it. One reason is there are maybe a handful of companies in North America that would make a hood of that great a detail and fit. And Two, if a company did make the hood jsut like the Japan one, or we imported the Japan one, it would cost alot of $$$$$, which alot of Thirdgen owner either don't have (my case ) or don't seem to want to spend.

Thats just my $0.02 worth

 

Do you mean this hood? because the link is not working for me.

 

Personally, I think that hoods looks pretty awesome.

The only problem I have with it is my vehicle is a daily driver, so that hood is out of the question for when it rains, water will flow right into the engine bay.

I'll be getting a SS hood from our awesome board sponsor the first $400 bucks I can find, because its a great price for a cool hood.

I really don't see anyone being able to make the above hood anywhere near that price range, which seems to be the area most of us are willing to spend.

 

Why not see if a hood manufacture with in your country would be interested in making one up, the sale price may be cheaper than ordering from Japan..It is a rather cool looking hood..

 

im likeing it,

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...75#post1605975 Look there. Can anyone help me post some pics of their cars? I got a few emails back from them with some nice pictures. I have them via email. Thanks

 

How do we know this vehicle/hood is from Japan? I'd sport that over a SS hood amazingly. Someone stateside has the ability to make it. where are you getting these pictures from.

Damn, I just thought about it.. if we did have it imported, we would be putting "JDM" parts on our vehicles. Would that technically make us Ryce ?

 

http://www.grace-co.co.jp/index.html Look there. Trust me, if they were in the states, or even in Canada, this would be on my car already!! Look at the link i have in my last post, it will take you like 3 or 4 threads down from this one in this forum!

 

Well I personally got an e-mail that might shed some light on stuff.... kinda lol...

Although it is the affair of the carbon hood of your question,
the$1200.00 mailing cost of a price is $1000.00 in airtransport.

Although a problem is in a mailling cost now for a mailling cost cheaper
than now next year.
Or if there are ten collected orders,I will think that a mailling cost
becomes cheap.

Our Ducted carbon hoods are the quality goods which have not been seen until
now.

If many American people can have and get interest on this carbon United
States.
If you please,please transmit this carbon hood to many persons.

Because,it is for lowering the price in the United Stetas.

I am sorry to be poor English.
thank you Gotou
