Hey guys where can I find the hood vent piece ?

ANyone please.

 

um... what name is right there in the bottom right corner of the picture you posted

 

Accolade doesnt sell it, i wouldnt mind buying from them, ive heard good things about their products, the only thing is i think the right side of their cspec fender set needs adjusting, but besides that they are okay..

but if anyone knows where to get it holla'

 

accolade makes the worst fitting fenders in the history of fenders. I have a forum member's car sitting in my back driveway with them on. 1/4 to 3/8th's gaps at best, overall fitment of 3 out of 10.

 

LoL, ive heard Veilside has fitment issues too, modifying isnt cheap i guess.. i think its the nature of plastic materials in general.. we have some local rx8s in our club here who run the accolade cspec fenders, granted they did put some work into it, but overall it wasnt that difficult or so i hear, and their cars came out looking great.

 

the only thing worse then Accolade's fitment is their customer service.

 

I got Mixed Reviews on them. But I would rather buy from Accolade vs. ViS, Extreme Dimensions or ilovebodykits

veilside / shineautoproject / accolade >Greater> FTL = extreme dimensions / ViS Racing / Ait Racing / ilovebodykits

 

the VIS stuff isn't too bad. xdeedubbx has their CF hood and it looks pretty good.

 

yeah but their body kits suck, seibon > ViS as far as hoods goes, accolade > ViS as far as body kits goes.. as far as the accolade fenders does anyone else make widely available fenders, nope. because nobody wants to get into fenders for our car, because they are complicated manufacturing with many mounting points... so thats why we are kinda of just left with the cspec fenders, because accolade was daring enough to make them for us.. they are known for crazy hot widebody conversions fender panels etc. that other manufacturers rarely would try to create.

Example WRC wide body fenders. Drools:

^^^ NOW we're talkin'!

 

you want vented?! I got your airflow hood RIGHT here!

 

wow, stick on hood scoop, I thought those were for 96 silverados with swampers and whips on 'em, I though wrong.

 

i couldent find those on the hookupshops website. whats the price on them?

 

I have my turnout gear on, so let the flaiming begin.

I kind of like the first hood scoop. I've been wanting a little something else for the hood. I think it looks tastefully done. Not too much like those twin scoops you see on the Silverados. But...for that kind of money, I'd rather get a go fast part.

 

Crystal Lake, Im not too far from ya.

 

Why not buy a hood with real vents?

 

because its easier to put something on with 3m tape than to unbolt 4 bolts... duh

 

getting a hood to align correctly does seem to be a pain in the *** if sevenstock is any indication...

 

^Oh sweet! What are the odds? Apparently 100%.

As for the real vent question...I would modify the hood so it functions as a real vent. Even a nice CF hood only saves you one pound in weight. Not worth the money, IMO.

 

cowl induction is the opposite of venting

 

god people wanted that scoop so bad for so long, then once it got made no one bought it.
