    Pit Road M hood: Know where to find?

    I'm looking for a Pit Road M style hood for a 2nd gen. Can't seem to find authentic or replica. I'd rather get a replica as the real one is very pricey.

    Any suggestions as to where I might be able to find?

    carbonfiberhoods.com does not have this hood in stock anymore and don't know if they ever will.

    Thank you for your time.

    thanks for the link.

    that sucks about the fitment.. i have a a GT300 hood which also had fender gap issues which is why I want a new hood.

    i honestly don't know anyone who runs the pitroad knockoff from chaser; so for all we know, it might not be bad at all.

    I have a Pit Road M CF hood on the car in My signature.
    I would not buy another one as the fit & quality is not that good.
    You will notice that the gap at the front is big enough to fit 10mm LED's

    Yes but I have resprayed it to body color as I didnt like the carbon fibre look.
    And like all CF it needs respraying again as the weave is starting to come through, I was told at the time that I may have to spray it 3 times.

    please stay away from chaser aerodynamics. got one of their fiberglass hoods and it had thumb wide panel gaps all around and was cracked badly in about 5 places on delivery. they would not refund due to the fact that i signed for the package. also the call when i was ordering got dropped before it was over but after i had given them credit card info. they then just charged my card without any further contact. worthless company on all fronts, stay away!

    i had the seibon knockoff for awhile... super thick (heavy) fiberglass layer and it was really flexible. like you could make it flex with one finger. kind of disappointed.
