i have this one for sale in Australia if anyone is interested :)

Here's the one I wanted to put on my 8 before I sold it.

Hood

Never wanted carbon fiber, but loved the look of the vents.

Do not EVER get a Chaser hood! I got one for my 350Z and it was a horrible fit, even after $500 worth of body work.

What hood & bodykit is this?

RE Amemiya front bumper and S2 Mazda side skirts.

what hood is this?

^ siebon tsII i have the siebon ts

Rotr8 has the best hood outhere I hope he post a pic of his hood.

thats nice jedi :)

Anyone had the Seibon TT on theirs? I like that hood but I think that it doesn't fit properly and you also potentially need hood pins?

of the replica brands out there, Seibon's fitment is probably a much better bet then ebay brands or VIS.

hood pins on our cars are completely unnecessary.

Okay thanks Jedi....

Second time I've utilized your help this week... as I was pulled over waiting for a tow truck and I came across your dead alternator thread from way back on my phone. I threw the P2503/2502 code too on my way home from work. What an expensive PITA!

glad I could help.
yeah, our alternators are not cheap. :cussing:


/end rant

do you hide the car when it rains? i would think with the vents that you would have water issues, or it doesn't matter lol..

i've been looking for a hood my self but just haven't jumped on the CF wagon yet.

The Varis comes with rain ducts. (ie; it's trays that you screw in on the underside of the hood so that it diverts all water down towards the front bumper and away from engine components)


Not that any of that matters for me since my car isn't driven in the rain. This is where you'll typically find my car. :cool:

I always liked the Seibon KS Style hood. Forget if that is a replica of someone else though.

Water isn't an issue under the hood.... depending on your intake set-up but for the most part, in the rain water is getting into your engine bay anyway while you drive.... and when I wash my bay I give it a low pressure sprinkle of water to get rid of all the dust.


Edit: I also love that hood too PDX

correct, all newer cars have water sealed components so even if water DID get into the hood (via the vents), you should be fine.

I have cleaned (carefully) my engine bay several times using Simple Green and a hose. Way more water then any down pour would put in the engine bay.

i think the best looking hood is the Leg motorsports one, but i havent seen any one here say they had one here in the states....

well mine may not be as cool as the "BIG DOGS" but I like the look of mine fore the guys that are on a budget (married)

Those headlights...

LOVE EM!!!!:naughty:

illegal as hell and unsafe as well.

The RX8 is not an American Muscle car, you need some Aerocatch hood latches instead of those hood pins. http://www.aerocatch.com/

On a budget because your married, LOL. Try divorced with 2 kids. I have 50% custody, she has a good job and I still pay $2300+/month (SS/CS), thank you California Legal System. Cheaper to keeper but having that lying cheater gone is worth every penny.

If you really on a budget and still want functional, you can buy someones used stock hood for $100, cut it up and install some hood louvers. http://www.hoodlouvers.com/pictures.html Noit the cheapest place to buy your louvers but you get the point.

I dont have any good photos, but I have a Seibon TS hood (same as Laythor) painted to match the car (VR) and I have the Aerocatch latches. I get more compliments on the hood then every other mod combined.

I think the TS style hood is the most clean of all the non-stock style hoods.

true..but oh well lol. paint it..and dont get in an accident

Another TSII

Thats a TS hood. The TSII has the vents in the front and the rear.

This one:

If I could get the FRP version to my house for under 2g I would order it tomorrow.

My apologies. I haven't paid much attention since I bought it 3 years ago.

My kind of hood.
