Unfortunately, it's not a production hood available for sale...it's a one off. You could always get the Uras vent and mold it to your stock hood to get a similar effect....

1. you people really are good at starting threads

2. one off (I was wrong, apologies )

3.. seibon? NO, at least compare the 2 hoods before you state things like that.

4. Same car

5. That vent looks ugly...How about Varis guys.

Boostshalaka, you are right about the hood. I saw the pics online before, but the vent is so subtle that I missed it upon first glance.

Upon your post, I revisited the image and you are correct!

Great job

Now we have to see if one of our Japanese speaking friends here can see if bn is willing to ship to the states and how much...

88,000 yen is roughly $760 before shipping. Not to bad considering the $1,000 + hood prices rolling around.

PM me if you are serious as I am about getting the ball rolling.

how serious i am depends on the cost of shipping, my money is a little tied up right now because i decided to get a bunch of headwork done since it's coming off when i put the HG on (labor is kicking my a$$)

wow, i stand corrected. it's soo subtle at that angle i just thought it was s stock hood or...i dunno? You can't go off the yen price alone....consider the size. Expect around $1100-1300ish for a hood at that price, no matter where you get it, you have to factor in the shipping costs (you live in hawaii), customs & duties cost, and then bank wire fees. When all is said and done, that stuff adds up.

I still think the varis hood is the most functional and cleanest looking but I am a big fan of both the BN sports hoods.

Maybe it's me but.......... I doubt that hood looks real " subtle ", looking at it from the back forward. It's flared up, with vents that are very deep. Pictures never show depth as it really is. Just my opinion.
