Hey guys,

I used to have this style hood:

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/135943





It's a Fiberglass 1st Gen Hood, that has TII scoop molded in already. (one piece) The nice thing was that it used all the original factory hardware.

I had it at my mother-in-law's house along with my still-to-be-mounted Mariah mode 1 kit.

When I picked up my widebody kit, I noticed the hood and other small parts were missing. Turns out they were a victim of hurricane Katrina/Wilma last year.

The problem is I bought this hood almost 3 years ago, and I can't remember what site I bought it from. I do remember it was a site that had to do with V8 conversions on RX-7's. I know it wasn't Grannysspeedshop.com though.
Also, it wasn't the CP Racing mold of the scoop either.

I used the Search button here, and I am not having any luck. I am trying to see if you guys can collectively find out where I can get this hood again.

Thanks in advance.

Doesnt Andre have a hood like this? Might want to contact him. Carl

 

Wasn't Manntis making those?

 

They had the blue viper like conversion kit if I recall. I can't find the site either......

 

I thought he just had the TII scoop. Anyways he doesn't sell anymore.



P.S.: Gear girl 138 rocks!

 

that scoop looks exactly the same, if not identicle to the hood scoop that cpracing sells...you could always buy it and fibreglass it in...but I'm assuming that you are looking for a completely fibreglass hood with t2 scoop...?

 

Exactly. Like the one I had, and never got to enjoy.

 

Nope, the hoods Manntis was making didn't have a scoop, they had a vent

Sorry DF, no clue where you'd get one of those. Let us know if you find it.

If I had bought one I would have made a thread about it.... maybe you did.. search under your specific username for "hood" and see what you come up with.

Here ya go. I always wanted that hood...

 

What a horrible picture they have on that site... it looks so aweful, not worth the money.. yet I look at the CarDomain pics that DF posted and I drool...

They *so* have to change that

Well, I remember a thread that was started a while ago that said there were some on ebay. I really do not know of the quality or if they are still available but you might want to try there.

That one from demonspeed looks like a hunk of junk though...I would not get it.

It was a Ford guy, I think. I'll look for the link.

 

That Demonspeed one looks pretty bad...

 

is this or this the same one ?
If they are I can try to pull up who's cars they are and ask them

 

I can't be absolutely sure, but the demonspeed hood looks like it is centered. And the one on the original post is offset as it would be for the intercooler on a T2 engine.

 

dj55b & Directfreak: That silver one is on the website of Mariah Motorsports. I e-mailed them one time asking if they sold that kind of hood. They said that they can mold their TII hood scoop into a 1st Gen hood for about $850, I think. I do know that Mariah can do them, but they did mention to speak to Jim in regards of having the hood made. Expensive I know but sounds about right since it is a custom job. I remember seeing that style of hood once on eBay for $400. But that was a long time ago and haven't seen one since.

 

i heard demonspeed has a terrible reputation might wanna see if u can get a group buy w/ ppl to have a set made, even if its just 5 it might help cost, i know theres a vented and oem carbon fiber thread for hoods in the for sale section, he might be able to do TII scoop in fiberglass cheaply

 

Those photos on demonspeed's website are pretty pathetic. Not a whole lot of effort put into them. If that is any inidication of the quality of their work, or how they run their business, I'll keep on looking thankyou! Then again, if I see better pics on their site in the near future, maybe they can pick up some points for listening to the input of potential customers. lol.

 

Hey Alex, did you buy the hood online ? if so you had to use a CC, check your records. CC history. I really don't remember any company producing a 1st gen fibreglass hood with the TII scoope molded in as a one-piece unit and to use all the OEM mounting hardware. Fibreglass trends comes to mind ???

Just a quick clarification...

Mariah Custom T-II hood =

OEM Mazda T-II Hood Scoop, OEM Mazda 1st gen Hood, Mariah Fiberglass OEM Style skeleton/frame

Shake and stir with about 20+ hours of body work (bonding, curing, sanding, etc. etc...)

and wal'la!!! a Mariah custom 1st gen T-II hood!

a few more

Not to mention a couple million bucks to have mariah put it together. but anything mariah does the results speak for themselves.

 

Not a million bucks.... only about $800-$900 and yea the hood came out beautiful!

-Bern

 

That can't be right. The "regular" Mariah hood costs about that much.

They should make a mold off of yours, and then sell it for 350ish..
