MSP Hood?

Hey I was curious if anyone else has seen this hood besides me. Sometime last summer as I was scouting for a carbon fiber hood I ran across one on the web that had a very slim intake port, much like that of a Subaru Legacy (Turbo of course). The manufacturer molded the chute to dump the air right over top of the air box, or more appropriately a cold air on the drivers side. It was really quite cool but I'm unable to find it again. Anyone seen this hood? Thanks in advance.

This hood? If this is the hood it is unfortunate but they are gone from our stock (discontinued)

OMG that's the one. You have none left in stock at all? :( I see that you said it was discontinued but you don't have anything lingering? I hope you do, but if not are you aware of anyone else that makes a similar hood? I badly wanted that last summer but was not in a financial place to get it. Anyway, I appreciate everyone's help. I look forward to hearing back from you guys. Thanks.
 
I don't know of any hoods that are made that look similar to this one... and unfortunately, no, we don't have anything left. That thread cleared the stock out. My other personal favorite is the Xcelerated Concepts CF hood great product and Crazy knows his stuff about CF and makes stuff right the first time! (aka minimal wear and tear from the sun and uv rays) maybe check ebay or see if any of the members that bought the hood are looking to make a small profit and buy one from them.
 
Omg!

So all I can say is thank you for reminding me of the manufacturer of this hood. It looks like: http://www.performancehoods.com/hoods/protege.html is still carrying it, but to be sure I'll have email their customer service/sales team to find out. I'd have bought one from you in a second had you still carried them, especially for being so helpful. Thanks again for all your help.
 
I'd be tempted by one of those hoods. If anyone knows where one is lurking, hit me up.
 
Well ...

It looks like the link I pasted above is dead for right now, but here is the information that I got from a sales person at ACS:
Yes we do still carry the Mazda Protege hood . Hood is in stock at our manufacturing plant. Hood retails for 599$. Thank you for the interest. If you need more information do not hesitate to contact me.
---end snip---

The part # that was listed on a previous posting URL I put up is: ACS Part #124009. Check out the attachment too just in case they never load up the site again for this product. I think I'll be getting one of these soon!! :) I wonder if they'll do a bulk buy out at some point. Hell I'm depressed over missing out on the last dump of these that went out for a few hundred $ less. Ah well, live & learn right?

How many people do we have interested here? Just kinda trying to figure out what the numbers look like
 
I'm interested but don't have the funds at the moment. This is the hood I want when I do have the money to get one though. If I would have caught your close out sale I would have definitely picked one up since they were at such a discount.
 
Ok well i just got confirmation from Joseph at ATC and the hood is still being produced, obvious to everyone here but i need confirmation :), as far as buying these go it looks as though ProtegeGarage will be selling these in a short time and if the interest and need is there we could possibly do another GB on these.

What do you guys think of that?!

BTW, Joseph, great guy to talk to smart and friendly!
 
I am interested but it would all depend on the price and if I have the funds when it happens. Glad to hear this is still an option though because this is the hood that I want.
