Carbon Hood, custom?

I have seen this car for a while and the main exterior thing that catches my attention is the hood. Wondering if anyone knows who makes it or if it's custom?

the vents looks similar to the RE Amemiya but theirs doesn't have the rotor.

hmmm....

Keeping as close to oem lines as possible is what I wanted and seeing this hood with the vents got me thinking. The oem rotor is the thing I like about this one vs the RE.... I wonder who makes it, I've looked and searched with no luck..

I think you can buy just the vents.

Yeah I have yet to find just the ducts like that... seems it could be a one off carbon fiber/fiberglass reinforced item or a modified oem... either way it looks great, here are two more pictures

Just going off those pictures it looks like that's a modified OEM in the style of the RE-kamehameha. They look fantastic.
