Like topic says, I know that mugen and I believe buddy club make a CF on but I prefer metal hoods.

Would also have to accept be series swap.

I searched and could not find anything on this subject.

y do you need that, motor already fits. If it doesn't (it should anyways) or you need extra air you can make a cowl induction by putting some washers inbetween hood mounts and hood.

I got a built turbo GSR motor and would like to reduce some underhood temps a bit. I am wrapping the downpipe and thermal coating the manifold to also help.

don't wrap anything it will just make your header fall apart faster (it will trap moisture). Is your motor overheating or something? I would just put some washers underneath the hood if you need air to escape better.

I appreciate the effort, but I know all the tricks like washer thing. I just am looking for this type of hood. I'm not having overheating issues at all, just something I want.

Thanks again, anyone else know where to get this kind of hood? If anyone makes it at all.

I'll be the first to suggest fiberglass or I think your stuck getting a custom one made. I've yet to see any non OEM styled metal hoods.

Why I think fiberglass is better:
cheap
light
