New carbon fiber vented hood????
 

Hey i was just browsing on cardomain.com and came across this red rx-8 with a sweet vented hood, anyone seen this??? what do you think? i like it has a nice clean look yet not over doing it, IMO.

as said on the hood.. its made by seibon :)

never asked does any one know who its by but thanks for the heads up...

LOL
wonder how much it is ?

...

Do a search for SEIBON hoods...

One of the vendors on this forum sells it
:rolleyes:

heh. Maybe it's just me, but there is nothing clean about a mismatched hood.

I was just trying to give my 2 cents on what i know of the hood.... if you want to come off like an ass then please do so :)

just so you know www.rx8garage.net sells them thew the owner is a vendor here and he has some other CF hoods

It looks like a Knight Sports hood for the RX-7. Liked it on the 7, not so much on the 8....in general I don't think it works well to take a design for one car and then transfer it to the next...if you don't design it for the 8, good luck getting it to look clean. Just my opinion, as always....

i prefer a stock looking CF hood

Your original post said "What do you think." Now people tell you and that's "coming off like an ass?"

Thought so :) Peace

the hook seems like missing somthing to me...!!! I like R-magic vent hood better..

I like it but I dont want carbon fiber

Here are couple more photos of the Carbon Fiber Hood Lil BeNy was talking about. This model is called the KS-Style. I've seen several places selling them for $749 shipped. The OEM-Style goes for about $649 shipped.

to me the grill on the vents make it look cheap..

I agree maybe if it was a dark mesh

what sites sell it ??
I have only seen rx8garage.com

the mesh may make it look cheap but with no mesh it looks funny

I like it, but not the white vents...should keep it a uniform color

ewww white vents. i perfer the r-magic vented hood...but damn it's hella exspesive:(

I don't think they're white...I think they're just unpainted metallic mesh. Personally, on the FD (and I was right it appears...calling it "KS-style" implies they've copied the Knight Sports hood, although I don't know if Knight Sports actually makes a hood like that for the 8) I thought the metallic mesh looked fine, as long as the hood was painted body color (of course its a pretty easy thing to simply paint the mesh if you don't like the silver look). I like carbon fiber in its place, but body panels...including hoods....is not one of those places. Again, just my $0.02.

I bought my CF Hood from: www.carbon-fiber-hoods.com

I got the TSII style.

how long is the wait??

Sociopath thats a niceeeee hood, any pics with it on your car?

I agree, That does not look good :eek:

Hood on Ebay....
 

FYI...

$599.99 + 159.99 shipping. = $759.98

Not sure who raceonusa is, but they are apparently selling the hood in this discussion.

another potentially nice product, ruined by gutter-guard.

What would be better. It is basically all the same stuff..........

RX8 Carbon Fiber Hoods
 

Question: the website listed above (carbon-fiber-hoods.com) has a couple of different styles listed, the Seibon KS listed above, and another one called the TSII. Both of em are for $749 shipped. I like both of them even though they are both quite a bit different in style.

Does anyone have any feedback on either of these hoods? Just want to know before I buy. A

Thanks

island motorsports in buena park told me 525.00 for the seibon ks style hood

I think I'm getting the KS-Style hood on my 8. I'll post pics if it works out.

hey can the mesh part be taken off and switched? or can i only paint it? found a pretty decent deal so i might jump on it..
