there is ONE kicking around in new zealand for 1500 NZD before shipping(that's only IF they'll ship out of country). other than that noone makes one.

seibon will make one, only if you set up a group buy with money from 15 or more people up front, and provide a 100% mint stock hood that you don't want back so they can make the mold. I spent 40 minutes at work talking to a seibon rep personally.

other than that, there is no one else that makes them. you might get lucky and find one used

Deknick is right on this one.
Your best bet is to get a salvage hood and do some mods on it yourself for the look you want to acheive

there was a website that had 2 different style CF hoods for our cars. it was on my laptop that died, but ill look for the website again.

thankz dude that would be a great help !!!

yusef, one of those was andy's autosports. they don't make them anymore.

TRUST me on this one. i spent 3 full days at work doing this, since i needed a new hood for my aristo. there isn't a company out there, (that advertises anyway, which is stupid if you ask me) that makes one for this car, only mkII (97+JDM, 98+USDM)

yep, andy's used to make hoods; I was about to get one before they removed the pics from their site and told me they didn't maked them anymore///// FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

but that's how it goes.... I wonder why our cars never picked up in that area....

oh :sad: i was going to save up for one too. i dont think we would have enough people interested to get one made...well we might have the people interested but honestly only a few would actually go through with the payment and everything. but it would be nice to get some quality parts for our cars.

Yep, that's just how it goes. seibon would make one for hte car if you provided a solid clean stock one to mold, it'll just be expensive as hell to do a single one, but if your willing to pay......

I dont mind sending my hood in, the price is the problem im sure.
