OK some time back I found a pic of a Black RX-8 with a CF hood. It was vented with the vents yup top by the Rotary indent on the hood. There where like 4 vents on each side. I think. Anyone know where I can find this hood?
Thanks for the info!

isnt it a veilside hood?

 

I would say SEARCH but i would feel so so wrong.

 

i think he means the varis hood... http://www.varisusa.com/products/aer...images/rx8.jpg

 

ah man i love that hood... i want it

 

varis hood looks awesome.

 

Its so awesome that I had to order one

 

^if you did just order it...that's baller status right there.

 

varis is teh too damn be expensive

 

I ordered it a while back and its supposed to arrive July 2nd

I'll have to add the hood to increase my baller status with my ohlins coilovers and volk wheels

 

that's the varis hood for those who don't know

 

sigh.............some day.........

i saw this hood on ebay and looks very similar or exactly the same as varis, but half the price. I know the quality and fitment wont be as good as varis, but pretty damn close im sure and a heck of a deal. I think i might just order one

 

RUB IT IN WILL YOU! lol, that is a nice hood you ordered.

 

this is the vis hood, the fitment was just fine and the weave is pretty good for the most part, it's a little uneven around the vents but i imagine it might be like that on any hood.


anyway i like it and it's a little more than 1/4th the price of the varis

 

uh yes my cf hood looks like a red x

does that really not work?

Looks fabulous. I know you said it has rain gutters on the vents, can you take a pic of that please?

 

varis hood fit perfectly, adding tons of head turner with this hood on my 8.

 

Great thanks guys. I would have searched but I had no idea what it was called and I tryed "cf rx8 hoods" on google but that sucked.

So whats the best one to get out of the 3?
I dont want the Carbon Kevler if it comes in blue that would be over kill on my blue 8.
So out of the FRP and the Carbon Fiber hood whats the differences?

Thanks,

the Varis hood is pure hawtness

 

personally, ima go with the vis hood, looks exactly like the varis and cost half the price. Its all personal preference if you prefer JDM or not. If you want pricey jdm stuff, go with varis instead of the VIS look-a-like.

 

i remember i had the varis lip and sold it to guido haha

 

i like the fact that the 'rotor' symbol on that hood isn't tiny like on other CF hoods.

 

Well you pay for what you get so I'm going with the CF $800+ hood cuz I'm a broke *** like that lol I'll post pix when she comes in.
At first the weight was on my mind then I got to thinking about it and its just way to hot out here in Vegas so I need a vented hood to help prolong the live of my baby lol

 

That's the EXACT same excuse I'm gonna use if I ever go CF. I think I'd paint mine black though...
