Look around this place, they have some nice hoods and other parts for your rx8!

Dont look there. That **** wont fit right. Get a legit kit and not a replica. You end up spending the same amount since you dont waste money getting it to line up with the rest of your car lol.

Seibon dont fit all that great either (gaps and not as good of a carbon fiber weave). They are ok but not great.
