What hood is this (FD3S)?
I saved the picture off here but i can't for the life of me find it now because it was a few years ago. I can't remember if it was an after market hood or just a universal vent moulded into the stock hood.

Can anyone help or point me to the thread where it is please?

Found another picture from my collection, this time of a car from the uk. To me, this means that this is a complete after market hood for the fd, and not some custom vent moulded into stock hood.

Close but no cigar. Vitafist is from greece and has a sunroof on his fd. This car has no sunroof and the owner is norweigan (judging by his youtube account) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQATeLt-0z0

I've sent him a message, but had no reply after 4 months.

Did he change his car around? If he did I'm really digging his new look.

Edit- I will agree that is a really nice hood

ok ding ding...

Dream works racing:

http://www.dreamworks-racing.jp/part.../11/d_/176.php

not sure if this is another vendor:

http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...498/parts.aspx


The candy apple red car you posted I believe does/did belong to a Norwegian forum member: joastarlet.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=Norwegian

His pictures have been deleted but I did sorta remember that thread and someone made a reference to an elise. So Im pretty sure that is the car.

Edit- Yes it is him. That watermark on the pictures that you posted: joastarlet has a turbo-kid.com link on his sig.
