Nothing against you at all. You are a great customer. Having products made in China is a trend to reduce production cost and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just part of business. I would do it too if I can trust the quality of the parts. Some of the made in China bodykits have decent quality but some of those are really bad. I rather have the production taken place in the US so I can closely monitor it but that's just me.

Does anybody have any information (particularly regarding fitment) with the hoods from www.atihun.com ? Again looks similar to the Mazdaspeed hood. I wonder if they are superior to the Mazdaspeed replicas that RX-7 Store sells.


Oh and my vote goes to Mazdaspeed.

Wow, that Jun hood looks very interesting. It's low key with the vents in the right places. Hmm.....thanks Rhode Dog.

Thanks, just looked at those myself! I think I found my vented hood for the future.

EDIT: Damian, I think the Scoot hood's a better choice for the track car. For your street FD....no.

I would do the Scoot hood, Damian. It looks killer and is functional.

I have an odd feeling that he doesn't need feedback on which to go with anymore. Just a hunch.

I went with the scoot hood and I can literally see the heat exiting out throw the vents when sitting at a light. I personally would not go with the scoot hood on a stock body style because I think it is too dramatic without adding something to the rest of the car, like a body kit of some sort.

So what were your engine temps with the new hood??
