RE-Amemiya MS3

I want that carbon front lip for my 3. The hood looks like it's functional

Here some more with people covering the car up, if anyone has better pics and specs please post them up.

ya it looks pretty nice, don like the hood to much tho

I would question the functionality of that hood scoop. look like the one simliar to my SVO. in windtunnel testing done on my SVO, it was found that anything over 50mph created a vacume and sucked air out the hood. ram air effect only worked at lower speeds.

this might work though.

Still looks like crap i think

Anybody ever thought about .... PAINT?

imo, carbon hoods just look wierd on the 3's, i think its cuz the hood is so tall.

but the cf lip?! sign me up for one right now.....

It would be really nice if someone would come out with an OEM CF hood for the speed3.

For most people it is the bling factor that makes them get CF hoods. If you are going to do that you might as well make it "different". Some people claim it is to save weight. So the real test is how much weight do you save?

Not many people have a CF hood on the Evo as the weight of the Evo aluminum hood is pretty low. Some people do put it on for that bling factor.

All that said the MS3 hood does seem to be heavier than the Evo hood so switching will probably give you a minimal performance gain. Are you looking for a performance gain or the bling factor?

Still has factory set up for Intercooler under the hood.

If you look very closely you will see above the grill that the grill still has the duct to get air to the intercooler. The hood scoop is just for the Air filter or CAI.
That is what I can get from the photo. Not a fact as I have not seen the hood from the bottom side. Painted red as factory and this hood is SICK as HELL. I will buy one tomorrow if it has the under hood set up for the intercooler.
It is Just sick...(shocked)

If the top scoop is for the intercooler, I believe it would have a negative affect. You have air being forced both ways.

A lot of people would benefit probably more if they would lay off the fast food and get some exercise. Nothing makes me laugh like a 300lb guy telling me he bought a CF hood for the weight reduction.

hahaha exactly! Same thing with sportbike riders. I'm getting the new r6 because it's 5 lbs lighter.

Check out the rest of the set up for the Red Car and I dont even want to talk about the yellow MS3.

Dude, some of us are just big. I'm 6'2" and I admit that I'm overweight but when I was in the Navy and worked out I was still 240-250.

As for weight reduction for a CF hood... again how much does the stock one weigh? If you can knock off 50 Lbs off the hood great, but if you are looking at a 5 lb difference I don't think it's worth the expense. And I have yet to see a 50 Lb hood on any car.

I wonder where they put the fogs on this one... that looks like a great space to put the CAI.

That hood would look sweet if it was all painted except for the inside parts of the scoops. I really like the lip too...kinda similar to the DG lip for the P5s.
