sorry man, Not feeling any of these at all, the only ones i would buy would be the OEM carbon, or OEM carbon kevlar ones, Im sure they at upwards of 700$ tho

Make some more OEM style ones with Subtle Inlets or Subtle Vents, Just my opinion


i REALLY want one of the Flared ones but OEM style, with out that tacky *** backwards scoop... is that an option?

Not to big on the Need for Speed hoods. The stock hood in carbon would be interesting depending on the price.

to the best of my knowledge the stock hood only wieghs 65 pounds(less than expected).

To me it is definitely not worth paying 5-6-7 hundred dollars plus installation to save this little bit of weight.

Just my opinion is all.

Below is the FRP version (actually pictured on a different car, but it's basically the same style just applied to the Lexus SC)

SC400 D-Max FRP Hood:
this is the only one i liked, simply because i have always liked it for its actual functionality if i could get a price on frp, cf, and kevlar

D-Max one in FRP? Price?
Recyclingimports at gmail

Is it a PERFECT fitment?
I dont want it unless it fits 100% like stock...I've already bought and sold one because it was not 100%

And that white lexus has definitely gone in the opposite direction that I would like to take mine in.

The plain hoods are ok though--like the carbon fiber one and the other silver plain one.(texalium)

Thanks for posting here im sorry if i came across as rude, just not my cup of tea is all.

Okay, I might as well jump on the bashing bandwagon as well, But yeah, some of these hoods are absolute hideous monstrosities! Only reason why these hoods are "Rare" is because you don't see 'em often...That's because hardly anyone wants 'em. (Also since CF fades over time)

P.S Get some higher quality OEM style CF hoods, and you can probably win over a few more of us on here.
