we need a scoot style hood, they are so sick. And why does it matter if its fiberglass if I'm painting it to match? You won't notice the weight difference between the two. And as long as the attachment points are reinforced you don't really need to worry about it breaking.

so this is being made? It's a custom g35 hood with the fins from the new amuse z?

Can someone show a pic of the Amuse Z hood? also, will there be a fiberglass version? I'd rather not pay a ton just to have carbon fiber that you can't even see after its painted.

I still like the VIS then. Just like the scoot, maybe they are the ones that make it for the RX7 since its so similar. The duct in the middle sets it off, maybe combine this with the vents from the amuse. Way to get my hopes up haha. Anyways, has anyone considered making this hood? hint hint to mastergrade.

Ok, so VIS already makes that hood for the G35, ooops. But I only see it in carbon fiber on their site. Can anyone replicate in carbon fiber? Maybe Klumzee? or Mastergrade?

anyways, the combination of the vents from amuse, and the scoop in the middle from the VIS would be the best hood ever, hands down.
