Aftermarket hood

***TitaniumTT*** · 05-24-2009, 11:49 PM

The problem with each and every one of those hoods is the only thing they would be good for is maybe scavenging engine bay heat.

Im looking for a hood that I can duct directly with my intercooler to use vacuum to pull air through the core. I don't really see any of those doing that very well.

Most of them just look JDM Drift yo!

I'm still pretty keen on the Garage Kagotani hood (The one the 600hp SuperNow! Time Attack FC runs and everyone thinks is a Panspeed hood), they're inexpensive in comparison to similar hoods (yes, shipping will be a killer still), come in fiberglass for those wanting to paint the hood, and people mistake them for Panspeeds without the little turbo vent!

D'max works well with a v-mount setup. Your intercooler is in pretty much the same position as mine and mine sits perfectly with the hood vents.

My hood is a d'max replica. Fitment is ok, but not perfect. Cost NZ$800 so about US$500. Purchased it off a local company who imports them from the US so no doubt it will be a lot cheaper in the US
