aftermarket hoods!!

[jlocurto]

has anyone put on anytype of aftermarket hood on their Speed3's yet? if so could you guys/girls post some pics of them so i could check them out?
thank you

there are a few people with fiber images carbon fiber hoods. you can find some posts around here with them but other than the oem style i dont konw anything else thats been installed. i know dg motorsports has one but dont know if anyone has bought it.

I don't think there is much out there as far as aftermarket hoods are concerned. There are a few CF hoods but that's about it as far as I know.

dunno bout the ms3's but ViS makes one for the the MZ3. it's defenitely different style.
here's a quick shot of mine.

there is a company that makes our hatches in total carbon fiber if you're interested.

 

[iredremix]

i think fiber images is the only one around for ms3. i wanna get a CF w scoops

theres one with a small ram air induction in the front of it. looks weak but gonna have to go make your own like me.

Yeah man sucks there aren't too many brand out there with these for our cars. I TOTALLY prefer one with a nice duct or scoop on it.

On EBAY I have seen ones from VIS that are for the mazdaspeed3 and are only OEM shaping tho, but have seen them on there for about $450-500 I believe. Definately pricey but VIS hoods are pretty sturdy and good quality.

i wouldn't mind getting a cf hood from VIS or seibon if they make them. maybe get a groupbuy going. UHATEIT is that price shipped? thats not a bad deal if it is. i wish there were more aftermarket support for the ms3.

 

[udontknowjack]

i got quote $200 shippin from su to nor cal....(wow)

 

[wisniaPl]

naw shipping is like 150-200 or so which BLOWS! It sucks hood are large and expensive to ship. I live in Los Angeles so I can go to the seller and pick it up in person. Just not sure if I wanted to spend $450-500 for an oem shaped hood

DGM makes a fiberglass scooped hood - there's images floating about on their page somewhere.

funny thing about that..i bought a hood from a known shop so insurance was included with shipping price. well DHL lost it for 2 weeks..another story lol but because it was insured DHL was going to refund me or get another hood, but mine was found eventually.

damn, yeah i was going to say, if that was shipped than im down. I wish i could just go pick one up. its hard to find one and being on the east im not even going to try to find a place close to me that stocks one. that's why we need a group buy, i got the VIS one on the integra for $300shipped, no bs. I did get the first order special but the rest was $400/$450 i forget, shipped. still a good deal i think.

yeah, i can honestly say that $500 can go somewhere else, i doubt the stock hood really weighs that much more over the cf but the ricer in me is a cf *****. i think it can just make a car stand out.

I'd like to see someone do replacement roof panel in CF, like the some of the BMW Motorsports models.

 

[controlo]

the stock hood feels like an anvil.

 

[ericrapp]

Any thing to move weight from the the front would be great for chassis balance and to some degree, understeer. What does the stock hood weigh compared to cf pieces?

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Awesome hopefully sometime in the near future they will have somemore cf hoods and in different styles

 

[typeshluder]

This is from the corksport website. A pretty penny at $1200. (omg)

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

Eh... Not really feelin that hood

 

[wisniaPl]

i like better that one from su that has scoop on the side...
