IDK about making a replica but I'm surprised no one else has produced a hood with a scoop and rear vents like Leg Sport has.

I would and have looked into it. The cost of shipping alone just to get it to my local airport would be well over the price of the hood. If I can figure out a way to get it shipped at a better price I would order it tomorrow. I am just not going to pay 3g for a $1200 frp hood.

kinda hard when you buy a $2000 hood from japan and have to wait 3 months cause customs thinks your smuggling people or drugs in it.

128,000 Yen for the CF ($1660USD)
Doesnt ship to US
Have to get a company that will (+-$200)
Pay for shipping to house (+-$96 (Depending on location))

But its a dam good hood, kinda want it

Meah, I can deal with the wait and the price of the hood its the shipping cost that kills me. When you are paying as much again for the price of the hood in shipping it hurts.

I would have ordered the Leg hood a long time ago if it was not for the shipping.

Jedi's hood was imported from Japan and he is aware of the process.

I have ordered Leg Sports parts through JapanParts and there is no issues coming to your front door. You have to be willing to pay.

In addition JapanParts offers an option to deliver through GreyHound. You have to the pick up the part at the bus station but it saves you money and take more time.

im not a fan of flashy hoods.

This is a custom OE hood. They installed the Evo vent.

Can't quite decide on the hood, but I really like your wheels. What are they?
