yeah im not such a big fan of all the vents, thats why i like the aggressive look of the veilside. thatnks for the pic tho jedi

 

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

 

^ I like that one. Looks like the Seibon,,,

does it freak anyone else out when the cf hood bends and wobbles while driving?

 

well the seibon is a replica of varis, varis is the original but what im talking about is the red carbon kevlar, i wanted to see the color of the red. any ideas?

 

isnt the stock hood aluminum??

 

Yes.

 

Here ya go,,,

 

so...how much weight do u think it saves....cuz i dont think i want my miata hood to get any lighter....

bending in the wind? ?

 

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

 

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

 

that looks strange...

Black and Maroon

 

itd look good with the shinka

 

now THAT'S a sexy lookin' hood.

 

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

 

How about a custom hood Anthony?!

 

 

thats kinda cool actually

 

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

 

Looks clean and functional. -Noice! How much?

 

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

 

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!
