Mazdaspeed hoods - How many of you are interested??

[Herblenny]

OK, As of now I have one MS hood that I could borrow to make this hood and I'm also in works to get one from SF, CA so I don't have to worry about if something happens to the one that I'll borrow.

This project is definitely a go, just matter of my fabricator having free time.

I'll keep you updated...

PS. I was contacted by a fellow DGRR attendee who's also interested in making mold and the hood.. So, there are others interested in making this hood. Please be patient as I have DGRR to organize and my cars to build.

I wanted to ask if the hood pins on these were going to be reinforced? I remember mazda sent out a warning to anyone that bought the hoods to bring them in to a mazda dealer to have them "serviced" ... if I remember correctly they ended up adding reinforcement rivits and a backing plate possibly to the inside of the hood pin. They did these upgrades from the factory on the new style mazdaspeed hood. Hopefully this can be done to the hoods that you are going to make as I would hate to have to run hood latches/pins (they look horribly tacky).
