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

Nice hood. That wait must've been torture.

RCCAZ 1 · 06-07-2008, 09:25 AM

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.

Looks nice bro!

RCCAZ 1 · 06-12-2008, 09:38 AM

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?

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?

IR Performance · 06-12-2008, 10:23 AM

Very nice.

RCCAZ 1 · 06-13-2008, 09:54 PM

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

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

Got my kit in not too shabby 4 month wait. It all looks good the quality is great.

Except they made a mistake on my order.. The hood was supposed to be carbon fiber, I did not receive the front head lights with the supporting brackets or anything. R-E said the shipping company might still have the lights... Just some BS. But it looks like they will fix it and ship me a new carbon fiber hood and hopefully the shipping company still have my lights....

Enjoy
