Has anyone seen this?

Has anyone seen this carbon fiber hood for the Mazdaspeed 6? Me personally, I think it's sexy as hell!! It's what Mazda should have done from the factory... I know my Speed6 had horrible heat soak issues, whereas my 2 Subaru's with TMIC's that had hood scoops didn't have nearly as much of a problem, I could see this hood helping a ton with heat soak on the stock Speed6 TMIC, and looks more aggressive, kind of like the new STI/Legacy GT... me likey. Not to mention saving 22-24 lbs from the heavy as sin stock hood, check this out:



If someone made a knock off, and I still had my Speed6, I would totally rock this hood! Too bad on the price though, ouch:

I've been saying to myself someone needs to make something like this. Make one for the 3?

might as well just go steal a new 08 STI's hood :P

I disagree Josh, it's not nearly as aggressive. this one is very nice...I like how it is functional and subtle at the same time.

Mebe. or make a nicer scoop. An agressive one. Not a sissy one. :P. Just do a FMIC.

I was joking :P

[GR-8]

Really now. :P

Sorry, but not my style at all. Part of the reason I bought the speed6 is because I didn't like the "aggressive" looks of the STI's and the EVO's of the world.

It would be nice to save the weight, but hood scoops steal away that stealth look.

A couple of other options for Speed 6 hoods

[bobopud]

I didn't see any in the link for a speed 6, just the regular 6. We need some extra room under the hood for the TMIC and its ducting. Maybe I just missed them though.

True it would take away from the stealth look, but it seems as though it might actually be functional... which I guess is why I don't mind (actually like) the looks of the STI/EVO, yeah, not a lot of pretty, subtle curves, but pretty much everything is functional. That's just me though, I'm an odd guy... although, the more I think about it, if I still had my Speed6, before I would spend $1000 on a hood, I would probably just buy a FMIC instead to combat heat soak... just thought the hood was cool
