Thanks! I guess pending what the fake one costs:)

I kind of wished I had bought the hood when I bought he N1 undertray.. it was free shipping from RE-A.

Phil,if we could get a few people interested, I'd be down. Maybe we can get the price down a little more to make it seem like the US Dollar is worth something. haha

Well, I been talking to Inukai from RE-A regarding getting something for the Cosmo..

I think he might do the 7stock special again this year, which is FREE shipping when you order it @ 7stock..

I'll send him an email and see if he's willing to do something like that again this year or not.. Otherwise, I thought one of vendor made this hood in the past??? No?? JLK??

JKL's 1st batch had a lot of fitment issues, and they ended up selling them off at a discounted price. Not sure if they have made a 2nd batch yet.

Check it out and let me know what you guys think, ill see about Getting Free shipping from Seibon if we get enough people wanting this.

$750 is RCC Price.

if we can get at least 6 people i can do it at $700
and i will still check on the shipping for this, i know Seibon offered free shipping for a very long time on a lot of their hoods, ill see if they can help us out.

Unfotunately, I don't like Seibon stuff..

Also, their scoot replica and that one doesn't look right..

Hmm... Good to know.

How serious are you about getting one of these??

Honestly, it's at the end of my list of things I need for my build right now, but if price is too good to pass up I'd be down.

Replicas are going for $700-800 with crappy fitment. The authentic RE-A AD9 hood was going for $1400 about 4 months ago with the better exchange rate, which imo is still a grip for that hood.

I Talked to JKL yesterday and they said they have a second batch already made. Talk to them and see what they can do.

Cool post up some good pics of it if you get it. My only reason not getting those are that the vents aren't the same. Seibon's vents seem to but less deep (both this one and scoot).
