    On the hunt for a hood

    So the hood on my FL Legnum VR4 got damaged, I am trying to source either a OEM replacement or an OEM style carbon hood. Anyone know where I may be able to find one?

    Most of the sources I can find from here in Canada are either out of stock or for the North American Galant.

    the shipping on something like that would be crazy high so i would have thought local supply would be the best solution.

    there is at least one PRE face lift bonnet on ebay at the moment.
    by the way the facelift bonnet is slightly different to the prefacelift model. the facelift model has slightly high centre section.

    Bye for Now!

    yeah shipping is a bit nuts, i had sourced one and paid 450 for the hood and 1250 for the shipping but the supplier couldn't get one.

    The only ones I can source locally are for the 99-03 American galant. Also I will not compromise on my car so i will only get a FL Hood. Even if it means paying out the ass.

    Plenty of people have had bonnets from them over the years, I'm sure you could look up what people had. I'd search s e i b o n on this site as a good start - IIRC there was a group buy on them many years ago.

    yeah the seibon hood is at the top of my list for now as a make due, just not a fan of it being a PFL

    good to know its verified as a fit on the JDM Galant though

    Might be, I haven't really studied the differences between the FL and PFL. (And i think I would be tempted to get the one with the evo-scoops anyway )

    its is for sure not a FL hood, I contacted seibon a while back when i started my hunt. they confirmed with me its based on the North American Galant hood and does not have the FL style rise.

    its a shame the Evo style doesn't suit the build as there are a ton of them with the FL rise.
