Well, I'm still trying to get an answer from the fabricator.. I'll keep you guys updated.
Another possibility is getting the R-spec hood replicated. Only issue is that one I found is about $5,000 (6,000 shipped from Japan). If I make that one, I would definitely need firm commitment with deposit (will be about $200 more to offset my investment to buying this R-spec hood). Let me know if you guys are interested in the R-spec.
