JT, it's just an open joke, I'm overweight and make light of it, I was just playing with Anthonty.

Yea, Anthony we'll take it off and we'll haul it up to Mt. Charleston. Use it on all that new snow it will probebly be the fasted it has ever traveled . You thinking of a CF vented hood? Oh ya JT at least we can drive our 8s in the winter - Snow is for Utah, points east and the mountains not for Vegas.

 

nah i dont want a cf hood. well i dont want to get a cf hood then just leave it, i want it painted. And painting is hard but i know someone, ill get a quote

 

Yup do English dude! You can get a Vented aluminum hood. Thats what I'm getting

 

How much is it gil?

 

Phil, if it didn't snow up here, you couldn't flush you toilets down there, and you'd have to wash your car with Perrier!

We got a piddling 3" this morning.

 

You mean everyone does not use Perrier?? Thank Utah and Colorado for gathering Southern Nevada's, Arizona and California water. Now, could you please raise the level of the lakes. A piddling 3" will not do it. I think more like 3000" might do it. Your delivery schedule has not been up to par .
The 8 does not belong in a garage, it belongs on the road but I understand not wanting road salt on it. Maybe you should just fit it with skis.
JT, thanks for letting me have fun with you .

 

This is the one I want, TS-style carbon fiber hood for 2004-2007 Mazda RX-8 is about $800.00 + tax.

i am curious to the real reson this happened? good luck getting a new hood.

 

Actually things have turned-around so-far this water year (the water-year begins Oct. 1). December's snowfall in SLC was 244% of normal. Nearly 30" at my house!

 

im going to order the veilside one in a couple of weeks, its not really what i planned to do with the money i was going to get the knight spotys kit but i guess i need a bew hood now, its gonna be 200 with dent pro or 500 for a new hood that i would probably want in the future anyway

 

I'm not sure what brand of-CF hood this is, but here's a photo I took of one a few months ago. A guy in our local group put this one on his car. He said it's actually a bit heavier than the stock Mazda hood.

yeah thats a bit too much vents for me

 

I have the exact same dents on my hood. And I've seen 2 other 8's with the same dents, the same place on the hood. I thought it was a poor way the hood was made or that the area had some odd stress on it overtime--cause the car has been very well taken care of.

 

i just got a quote for this to be fixed, i have a total of 6 dents including the ones on my hood, it will be 9 dent pro will get them all out for 500 so im really happy as i took my car to 2 body shops earlier and they said 1900 & 1500 for the lot
so im really happy

 

woo hoo i just got all the dents out and it looks like new again

 

rub some toothpaste on the headlights now...........................

 

eh?? toothpaste

 

I had one replaced, so buffed the old one out with toothpaste, old one looks new now.

 

at first i thought this guys crazy....then i looked online and your right.

So how did you do it?

 

rag and rub..................lol

gets rid of that film on the clear plastic.

 

cool im going to do it later, so i just use a damp rag and then toothpaste and then wipe it off with a clean rag?

 

yes, toothpaste works on more than teeth.............lol

 

i just used the toothpaste it really works well, i now have clean lights that smell minty fresh

 

Don't forget to floss around the edges...
