New Vented Hood
I haven't seen this hood before.
It actually looks decent.
I like it... not over done... now qualitywise... i have no clue.
what do you all think?

If I´m not mistaken it´s exactly the hood as my local vendor here in sweden has in his shop, but it´s made out of carbon fiber. Quality looks decent, not too shabby at all

I just went to their website, but couldn't find any RX8 products, nor the hood pictured above...anyone provide a direct link to this product?

For a replica hood... this one looks to be of pretty good quality.
Here's pics of the original Varis hood. It comes in FRP, Carbon Fiber, and Carbon Kevlar...

A quality hood..fibreglass... at 249.. It all seeems ultra suspect to me. Beware of massive fitment and quality issues. Remember all those hack Mazdaspeed kits! You pay for what you get! If someone still takes the plunge, please use hood pins because I've seen poor hoods flop back into the windshield of cars.
I have the Varis hood...the underhood design, underhood draining trays for the vents , and centre triangle are very very different from this pic. It appears the vents aren't quite the same either..they seem a little more shallow than the VARIS.
