Mazdaspeed hoods - How many of you are interested?? - Page 2

***Herblenny*** · 01-04-2010, 10:39 AM

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.

Holy shit I like the R-Spec even more. I've never seen that one.

mazdadude7 · 01-04-2010, 05:45 PM

I like the r spec alot as well. Idk if I like it enough to shell out 200 more. better pictures of it would be a plus.

I'm liking the Mazdaspeed hood more. THe vent seems a little farther forward for those of us doing a VMIC it makes it alot easier to duct the hood to the intercooler, or get it close enough for government work.

Hey Phil here's a question for you. If you are having these made, can you order them withOUT the holes for the wiper nozzles? I hate that look.

That sounds like a great Idea! I would like it if they marked out on the bottom of the hood where to drill out so if we changed our mind.

***Herblenny*** · 01-04-2010, 11:12 PM

I'm sure that's not a problem.. But as of now, my guy is bit busy with other project/job. I'm hoping to meet up with him tomorrow and see what he can do and get a reasonable time line. Also, since the weather has gotten kind of bad and not sure if his work shop has controlled environment or not. I'll let you guys know... I also want this to go ASAP.

So, how many are interested in R-Spec?? and willing to pay 700-800 each for FG and 1000+ for CF ?? Just remember new R-spec is like 4-5K in Japan and they are SUPER rare! If we decide to make it, I'm wanting to make a limited number so its not played out. I'm thinking 25-35 total.

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-04-2010, 11:35 PM

:cringes: I'd go for it but my vote is MS hood for a few reasons
1) I like the position of the duct better
2) Looks smoother
3) Not sure on the functionality of the side vents on the RSpec
4) It's MazdaSpeed!
5) Becuase I said so

Still a better looking hood than most out there though

Doc-1 · 01-05-2010, 08:30 PM

I am after the MS hood. Would like the vents above the turbos as well on the hood ....in CF Looking for good fitment not looking to use pins want to keep my hood latch......(R spec not so good)

Trout2 · 01-05-2010, 10:57 PM

I'd be in for an R-spec hood.

afgmoto1978 · 01-07-2010, 11:31 AM

In for the R-Spec unit for sure!

A little more aggressive opening on the center vent would be awesome. Or I will mod mine after I get it to accommodate my v-mount.

Will be rocking my modded aluminum hood until then.

***Herblenny*** · 01-08-2010, 12:53 AM

I'm still trying to talk to my fabricator.. He's been busy with his other job. I'll see what he says.

Regarding R-spec.. Maybe I should start a poll and see what you guys prefer. R-spec, I would definitely need a non refundable deposit as I would have to fork out to buy the R-spec hood to be replicated.

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-08-2010, 01:28 AM

I think the poll is really going to be the only way to be certain. No new accounts though damnit

***Herblenny*** · 01-08-2010, 07:54 AM

poll is up.
