Has anyone seen this CF hood for sale (made by Shinko Chemical)?
I ran into pics of this hood. The manufacturer's website is entirely Japanese, so I am not sure who might distribute their products. They offer a huge array of eyelid styles in addition to a couple of carbon fiber hoods. This is the hood I'd like to find:
  Here's the manufacturer's website: http://www.shinko-chem.com/beck/vitz...net/index.html |

Yeah, I like the eyelids also.
A hood scoop on a Yaris?, That's one I have to think about.

I may be a bit biased, but I'm really not feeling those eyelids in the least...
To each his own, I guess  Nice find regardless... Always helpful to see what the competition is cooking up.

I like our hood scoop design better. Just haven't gotten to producing it yet...
 I don't mind seeing if they would ship a batch over here -- Group Buy, anyone? Is there that much interest in this hood? should I mention that $65000 yen = $700?

it seems like the hood was made for the vitz turbo M, would work nicely with the top mount intercooler

I definitely like the hood design contest one better. I was surprised to see that there is scoop one available somewhere. |

I have this hood for sale also, might lend itself to FI applications, and a good deal at $250 plus shipping.

That hood definitely has potential. Have you tested it for fit? |

CTScott, the AIT hood is A++ quality, beautiful finish, great fitment, and nicely done underneath as well.

Wow, that looks so slick!!
I would like to order one if it is a real JDM product (not like the Seibon/knock-offs from China). |
