whoever gets it first post pics of it on the car. Dying to see this. It might keep me from buying a feed hood.
Yeah I like that feed hood alot too.  Its way more expensive though, and harder to find.  I like the old school muscle car look of this hood.  Will get some stares for sure when people see the big cowl on a little mazda.


My hood got delivered today to my work.  I am at work till 6pm tonight.  So When I get home I will get some pictures of it sitting on the car.  Hopefully it will fit as nice as it looks.  If I have time and remember I will weigh it too.

If this hood will solve my "Fast 102mm intake" height problem, you have yourself another buyer. Stock hood currently touches right on the "LSXr" lettering and where the blue tape is on the throttle body hose. 

 If I can put my power steering reservoir back to stock location, I'll be even more tickled.

Can you judge by this picture below if these things should have more clearance?

Picture time.   I just set it on the car.  I have really shitty light in the garage so I took a bunch of shots to try and get some decent shots.  I probably wont bolt it on for a couple weeks cause I still have stuff to do under the hood.

Looks a little like the Vette cowl hoods.   How's it fit?

Looks like it should easily clear the intake.  Clearance is improved by 2 to 4 inches over stock hood.  Should be 2 or 3 inches in that area.   Do you need a Pin On or Bolt On?  I have a Pin On available now ($375) which is ready to ship, will have to make a Bolt On ($500).  That will take a week to 10 days after payment or deposit.  Let me know, and we can arrange for payment and shipping.

As someone who currently has a 2JZ and no hood, this interests me.

I bought a FC 5" cowl hood off of him and It is lighter than a feather man.  Gives me a ton of clearance and the hood looks sexy.  If I had a FD I would be buying one of these units.  Best of all he is very easy to get a hold of!
