Finally... My N1 Hood has arrived from Japan
 

After 8 months of waiting, my RE Amemiya N1 hood has finally arrived!!

Nice hood. That wait must've been torture.

Yea, the wait was tough. A friend of mine and myself ordered several items from RE Amemiya at Sevenstock X last September. They were offering free shipping for any orders placed at the event. If I had known at the time that it would take 8 months to arrive, I might have had second thoughts, but oh well. Finally have it and I'm happy with the final product.

free shipping directly from Amemiya makes it worth the wait. I'm sure they were waiting to fill a container.

pure sex

Looks nice bro!

Thanks everyone!

Sending it off for paint in a couple of weeks. Plan to somehow mask the Amemiya label on the backside to preserve the "authenticity" of the hood. Do most who paint CF hoods paint all of the underside as well, or do some leave it raw CF?

Very nice.

you could have the paint shop do a sort of fade from carbon to paint around the writing, then clear coat it all.

Wow! congrats! lets just say that i'm super jealous and that i could never bring myself to get a knock off of that hood.

how much did it set you back?

About $1300 USD.

Don't you mean AD9? I just got the same one, though in fg. The N1 was the rotary extreme nomenclature for the knockoff.

Nice looking hood. But dam 8 months for a hood to come in. I'm puting in a order tomorow for RE-Amemiya AC037 Front Body Kit with RE-Amemiya AC 987 Rear Body Kit. I hope it does not take that long for my order to come in.

Enjoy your Hood

Thanks! Good luck with yours as well. Post some pics once it arrives and let me know how long yours takes.

Yes, understood on the N1 versus AD9 nomenclature. Enjoy your hood as well.

It will probably take just as long, as everything is made to order, I waited 4 months just for my Fender Mirrors and 5 months for my bumper, what more a whole kit...

But you never know....
