Is the stock hood on the 05 RX-8 steel or aluminum?
my used 8 came with a carbon fiber hood and I want to replace it with an OEM hood. The ones that I found on the internet are listed as steel/primered. On the "little things" thread here on the forum someone mentioned they liked the aluminum hood..... which is it? BTW if there's anyone in upstate NY that has a black 8 and wants to trade for my CF I'm game....

Ahh, the beauty of many fellow 8 owners who are slacking off at their jobs too.
