sorry to hijack ur thread anthony but i didn't want to make another thread about hoods

does anyone have a pic of the red carbon kevlar varis rx8 hood? i think if the red closely matches the color of the rx8 it may be a good idea to save up the cash and get something unique.

i tried searching but couldn't find anything satisfactory. thx for the help

That looks like the Varis hood. It says his is Vis V-Speed but im sure thats just a Varis knock-off

ivory8

Too bad, that's not even close to what the Varis Red Kevlar looks like..

Go here Jordan.. You can click on their site to see what the red looks like. http://www.varis.co.jp/japanese/bonn...oolbonmaz.html Also, here is a picture of their Red Kevlar products, it almost looks purple.

all cf hoods that i am aware of weigh more than the oem rx8 hood by a few lbs. the cf hood is nothing more than some cf on top of fiberglass and then some metal support under it.

now, if you get some real dry carbon fiber panels from speedsource or something, then that would be a different story. But you wouldn't be paying $700 for it either.

i got the red kevlar fender vents and a good copy is closer to purple than red......it matches VR pretty good though

ivory8

from armins post....it DOES look purple...thats kinda disturbing, man i wish the kevlar had the same color as the xbox sticker =)

My Seibon OEM CF hood (see pic previously posted) does NOT wobble at all while driving and it is slightly lighter than my stock hood

R Magic

How about a custom hood Anthony?!

R Magic

A.Mair

thats kinda cool actually

ivory8

thats hella sexy, where can i find someone to do that for me!!

solito77

Looks clean and functional. -Noice! How much?

ivory8

rmagic...is that ur hood? i thought u had veilside. but anyway i MUST get something like that. nothing like a custom hood! woo

R Magic

I might know a few shops that would do that type of custom work.. No, I don't have the Veilside hood. I said, I was going to buy it but instead I bought the Seibon TSII hood. I will replace it with an authentic R Magic hood!
