Marcos, I'd consider the AD9 hood from RE-Amemiya as a model. "Slightly" more conservative and it doesn't have the viper-esque front duct. Just a thought.

Depending on what price I'm quoted for fixing my newly dented hood, I may be interested.

i posted this in your other thread but I think if you keep the oem look and elongate the indentation that is already in the hood and add the same style vents it would look bad *ss. it would look something like this. If I have time this week I will finish the photoshop so it looks a lil flatter like the RX7 hood and not so bubbley

the yellow rx7 does not have any stock pieces. It must be a aftermarket bodykit and intercooler. Looks great

Mike, look at the name again. Michel not Michael :-) Dave, no, didn't buy one "yet" but I did play one on TV last night. J/K. Actually I test drove one (in the rain) today for the first time. Coming from a single turbo RX7 it was a bit underwhelming but it seemed to handle nice and was fun to drive regardless....definitely a BMW competitor and as such I'll probably purchase one sooner than later. Unless I do go three rotor. I'll be broke naturally and won't be able to afford an 8 :-)

there are many of us that have been calling for the vented hood from the prototype since the day we found out it was changed. if someone would make a hood like the one below, whether carbon fiber or aluminum they would sell a ton, which is alot considering the weight of either material.
