Recommend me a kouki S14 hood

[g6civcx]

Like the title says. I'm looking for a kouki S14 hood. I can't find an OEM one locally. Hell, I can't even find a kouki S14 locally.

I don't really care what the hood looks like. I'll probably be cutting holes in it for clearance so the hood can be flimsy. I just need something so I won't get pulled over.

Carbon fibre. FRP. Whatever. If all fails I can always get an OEM one from Performance Nissan, but it's heavy and costs a lot to ship.

Recommend me a brand and a vendor, if you would.

Right now AIT BMagic would be my top choice for cost, but they have some service issues which I don't want to get into right now. Everything else I found was either OEM or JDM-expensive.

Thanks for any helpful comments.

I only have experience with SEIBON hoods, very nice hoods. I've also heard great things about VIS racing hoods even though a few years back the company didn't really have many quality parts. I personally don't like the styling of their vented hoods though, but they do have an OEM style available.

There is also ORIGIN who sells frp and cf hoods, but I can't vouch for those hoods as I have never actually had one.

People still see it and don't realize it's broken till I show them the underside and the broken skeleton. The quality of the carbon is impressive.

Best fitting hood I've ever seen for a 240 is a Fiber Images hood.

i have had good luck with (yes i know most of their procucts blow) GTP hoods, i have owned two CF hoods (s14, & s14 zenki) and 1 FRP hood (a14 kouki Dmax style) and i couldnt be more satisfied.

also, i get 20% off of anything GTP (importfan.com) sells, so i'll hook you up with my discount ya herd!

if you order it from your local nissan dealership shipping should be free, you just gotta pick it up from them

VIS/Seibon/Carbon Crations are some good ones

although i agree with mercer, i must say, they wotn ship to japan, so i'd need ot ship them here first,, and hten to you... costly...

BUT also, i gotta ship LA my old digicam in yokosuka so if you want me to throw them in that package you could save on shipping....

Thanks for all the comments so far.

So far I want to stay away from OEM because it's heavy. I'm hoping I can skim on paint with carbon fibre or if the FRP is at least semi-glossy.

I can't link Ebay here but there's one that seems cheap. "NISSAN 240SX 97-98 S14 DRIFT FIBERGLASS HOOD body kit
GTP V*FRP Top Quality Hood | IN STOCK! | Fast shipping"
