That hood is what I've been looking for. I thought they only made it for the rx7. Nice find.

Will it fit turbo models?

I can't wait to see this on a car. Most of the 2g designs without the offset bump look bulbous in the center. No way you can tell from this angle though.

Nice looking hood. They have pretty good feedback for a seller that only sell these type of parts; usually Ebay sellers like this have tons of negative feedbacks.

I have seen a few of those in Fiberglass. I have a local DSMer here in souther indiana that has a painted one, it looks sweet.

This is my favorite hood. Looks nice, i wonder if it will fit the turbo models.

I sent a message to Chaser Aerodynamics, LLC and they did say this will fit the turbo models. I'm also interested in this hood as I need to find a way to vent the heat in the engine bay. Can anyone dig up a pic?

I've never seen that hood on a 2G.

That hood is not a new style. I used to sell these back in 2000-2004 when I sold body kits and hoods. Import Fan used to sell them and now Chaser Aerodynamics sells them.

Did chaser take over import fan? Do they sell all the parts that they used to sell or are they just selling whatever they had leftover?

I like that style of hood. Too bad it wouldnt look too great on a 1g.

Banshee Auto bought out importfan and CWings

Anyone have pics of it installed on a 2g?

I've always been curious how much weight you drop with a carbon fiber hood. Around how much do you shed?

 

[king_of_HTX]

Not enough to really make a difference unless you autoX or something where every bit of weight lost counts.

 

[h8r]

Weight savings is a acumlative, it may save you 12-15 lbs.. Not one peice will save enough to drop 1/4 mile times by alot. However, 10 lbs here 3 lbs their adds up pretty quickly! It is a decent savings in my book.

100lbs of weight loss will make you 1/10, yes 1/10th faster in the 1/4 mile. So after you get a carbon fiber hood, doors, hatch, rip out the interior, if you run a 11.9, you spend all that money, you'll run a 11.8. People buy CF hoods for looks, very few buy it to save weight.

If weight loss is your goal to drop your 1/4 mile, you'll be better off looking at some lightweight wheels since they have rotational mass and not static mass like a CF part.

 

[h8r]

Agreed with the wheels .. Thats why I say it's an cumilative effect. Unsprung weight is Key.

 

[mavisky]

Agreed on the weight loss comments. I bought mine because my stock hood was damaged and wanted to get some extra venting.

 

[silvreclips]

That hood looks pretty good. I would have to see it on a car to decide whether I really liked it or not.

 

[king_of_HTX]

installed Pics Anyone? Lol
