I've started to talk with a manufacture about making a carbon fiber hood the real deal from right here in the US... Not sure of the price yet but this is absolutely a real possibility.... Personally I want a vented hood they say the make OEM then go to a Vented hood later... I'll have more information some time needs week!!! So what do you prefer? OEM or Vented?
(blowup)
 
I have eMailed DGM twice about a CF hood, and they never reply (Ain't nothing like good customer service, when someone wants to buy something!!). Corksport has them listed as the manufacturer of their CF hood and Side Skirts...

There are a ton of companies that don't write back Spec R when you call them you never get and answer... I was up late calling all night on several ocations trying to contact them and that's a long long distnace phone charge for an answering maching that says "mail box full" but whatever ATH never wrote back either from there american customer service department. I actually talk to someone from this company it'll take a few months for them to build it for me but once they do it will be avaible for everyone

It amazes me how companies act. It seems as if they don't care whether or not you buy something...

Anyways, keep us posted, I am sure plenty will be interested when it is a possibility. I know I am!
 
3 months is ridiculous. i didn't wait for my car, i wouldn't wait that long for a hood, just my opinion. when i order something i want it right away, not 3 months down the line.


what kind of price is he talking for the OEM?

True But Remember they have to make a mold for it first.... No one that I know produces it yet in the states and I highly doubt anything cf hood will be avaible sooner then that here in the states for a reasonable price... And if the company that makes the cf hood on the corksport site doesn't answer ppl back I bet there's a good chance they don't really make one either... So yeah it's 3 months but it would be the first one they ever made and there's a lot of hand work that goes into that, not to mention the other projects there working on... Mazda 6's arn't a dime a dozen car not every kid is buying them to dress up! It's definatly no civic where they could sell thousands of hoods... So I don't really blame them for taking there time.

Supposedly DGM has one out. I know that it is on Corksport's website...

Don't know if they actually have it though...

Exactly didn't you try to contact them and couldn't... Besides it's 700$ for oem I don't think this place will be that much... I don't believe it until I see it or actually talk to someone!!!

I think Corksport is a rip off to begin with....
 
I would be interested in both, more interested in the vented hood but I would have to see a pic or something.
 
I have a price of 600$ for a group buy on the OEM style hood I will start a GB if there is enough interest.
 
DGM hood

i got the DGM hood on Monday, local company so i just went down to pick it up. set up a group buy on Mazda6club for under $500. i've talked to them a good 6/7 times in the last 2 weeks and it's a pleasure dealing with them. they will be having some other products out by end of summer or so as well.

anyhow, there are some pics on my cardomain site

since i had my stock hood laying around i talked to a guy from a company i've been working with. dropped off the hood on monday and he'll be starting to produce a hood this month, should be done by July. a CF hood with some sort of scoop (reverse from the sound of it) based off a thread on the Mazda6club.com...http://www.mazda6club.com/forums/read.php?TID=16990. he will be doing some work on the car as well, mostly 4cyl, as it's crossover stuff from the Focus. but hood is in the works.
