Check with Area 51 in Irvine. They have custom hoods including Carbon Fiber ones and slotted hoods for their Supercharger solution for the IS3.

TRD Japan makes a Carbon-fiber hood made to factory specs, uses the same mold and reinforcements on the original. Fit and finish is perfect on them

The TRD Carbon-fiber hood weighs 14lbs versus 35lbs for the factory hood, and come numbered.

These are special order from Japan, not for the faint of heart.

They retail for $2200.00, CL price is $1749.00.

Definitely.........I know it's serious $$$$$

It does look sweet and for anybody who wants an OE TRD hood this is the one.

TRD had this one at the last NOPI show here in Long Beach and it looked flawless, of course your paying for the limited production,quality, and the name.
