Re: Where Can i find this hood
Good luck trying to get that hood. I went thru a mission sending about 10 emails to the japaneese place that sells it until finally those stuck up b*$#@!s answered me back and it cost $876.00 US dollars and $690.00 to import and ship to a buissness. They can stick it where they came from. Way too much money.
So I gave up also contacting hood manufacturers to make it. I just got a cowl hood. I am happy for now.
I dont understand why hood manufacturers cant duplicate it in fiberglass. They would sell like hot cakes. They are just dumb and loosing out on money.

Ain't it a carbon fiber hood? $876 might be a realistic retail price. And the shipping..........U could prolly ship 1 or half a container of those things for about that price. Things become WAY WAY cheaper by volume.
Need to email some vendors and push them to become a supplier IMO.

Re: Where Can i find this hood
its true, if one vendor ordered a few hundred of these the price would drop down a lot.

Re: Where Can i find this hood
i want one too
ive been hunting for this hood for a 6 months, i want one so bad, i might eventualy just have to have one shipped, and i think that carbon fiber, being masked off *** stripes, then color matching the hood, so you would end up with carbon fiber stripes, would look super sick

Re: Where Can i find this hood
To those of you saying it's too expensive to ship...as someone who lives in Japan, I assure you that price is on par for shipping, even by boat. A hood is a HUGE thing, and it's coming from halfway across the world.
The little 1.5 cubic foot care packages my sister sends me? Yeah $50 to ship.
