snipaz your car is really nice dude, how much was that hood? and advantages other than just asthetic?

mysql101 i couldnt see any pics of your hood tho.......

mysql101

really? Cause there's a crapload of pics there.

chetrickerman

holy ****, wow. where the hell did you get that??!!

snipaz2420

don i was in an accident and the hood needed to be replaced. i had the body shop order the hood for me and replace the OEM with the stock hood and the prices basically almost cancelled each other out so i cant give you an exact price. the price on veilsides site says $850 and the body shop told me it was close to $300 to ship it. other then asthetics i would say there might be a slight cooling improvement only because on hot days i see heat waves coming out of the vents.

chetrickerman

the hood is only 590 on veilsides website http://www.veilside.com/veilsideusa/frames.html

A.Mair

Beeotch

veilside hoods take a long time, last time i checked it was 3months for shipping

A.Mair

3 months! God Damn thats long. Its shipped from usa right?

snipaz2420

A.Mair

ok cool thats more like it. Im going to give veilside a call and ask them how long they think

VeilSideBrian

VeilSide RX8 hoods

1 FRP in stock in USA


2 Carbon Fiber arriving in stock at end of January.



Shipping time from time of order to delivery if in stock is generally a week.


I'd say the vents are a great idea for a hot rotary....

A.Mair

cool yeah i want the frp, 1 week is cool

VIS OEM...but thinking to switch to the one with vents.

only thing I dislike about most of the vent hoods is that the rotor shape is TOO SMALL.

Looks kinnda funny when the rotor is small and they have these huge vents next to it.
