mazda hood!!!

[iknospd3]

just wondering if n e one's seen this yet?

[major error]

Not likely that someone with a Mz3 would be interested in it.

[clos561]

very nice for a ms3, is that even for sale?

[myms3]

i dont see what everyones obsession is with hood scoops. The car was aerodynamically designed for airflow to the grille not the hood. granted it will probably work, but i like the subtle sleeper hood so i myself will keep stock...

doesnt look bad though, that would be expensive though since its a JDM part... probably cost 400 just to ship. oh well

[BlackCherry06]

..and would likely be a water intrusion nightmare.

Look's like a chop to me....

[jbiird317]

Look's like a chop to me....

i believe its real, but im not sure its production. try japanparts.com, they might have something there

[jy1051]

Look's like a chop to me....

i agree. seems all crooked. although, i'm totally digging those wheels. they're insane.

[ericrapp]

Caliber srt hood?

[redrocketz]

I like the RE amemiya hood it looks really nice.

[justanothermp5]

tho whole pic looks shopped
if u look at the fenders, the cut off is way to sharp compared to the rest of the pic
and the rims look kinda weird on that car

[AG DesignWorks]

Looks real to me, and i'm a serious photoshop user. Most likely a new part from RE Amemiya. And it looks like the hood is off center, probably because the intercooler is off center under the hood.

But I'm with myms3, personally i think the OEM designed ducting is the most effective and best looking solution thus far. If i really want better cooling i'll just get a FMIC. A bigger top mount with that hood and paint probably costs much more than a full front mount kit.

not the RE Amemiya hood looks to be the fibre images hood

[USMCEvan]

Just widen the scoop, I say, to keep it centered and still get good coverage.


I likes. ;)

[Jasonstiller]

what wheels are those?!??!?!

[D_Roc7822]

that looks freakin sexy as all hell. Ive always wondered what a scoop on the hood would look like. I was looking @ the s t r e e t u i t vented hood but they dont have any pics so, i wasnt sure how itd look. Either way.. Im not too big into performance (some is nice) but when every part you put in or on your car has to do with performance. It kind of kills the fun of modding it. Ive always been a looks kind of guy anyways.

[36Crazyfists]

anymore pics of the car?

[Falconx84]

anyone notice how the wrong width tires are stretched over those rims?

shameful....

[myms3]

thats an actual thing they like to do now adays, got me why but i see it more and more lately on many cars..

[mrlilguy157]

hate the hood. love the wheels.

[MAZDARacing2007]

i think i finally found out what kind of wheels those are.... they look like Alutec zeros'...?? you decide if those are the wheels, it looks the same?

[Ebruess]

What wheels are those?! They would look dead sexy on a Cosmic Blue :D

[MAZDARacing2007]

i think they are alutec zeros?... those are the only wheels ive seen that look closee to being the same

[domekat]

the car is this one on the Japan parts (http://japanparts.com/images/ImageFromDB.php?base=1&no=10723)site, but no sign of the intake

[DredPir8Roberts]

the hub area on the alutec wheels looks different, and the alutec's spokes seem to be flat instead of slightly curved. Hopefully someone will figure out what those wheels are, every time the Valiant MS3 gets posted, everyone (myself included) wants to know what the wheels are.

[dkswim]

real car i forget where ive seen more pics of it ill look around later. oww yeah the streched tires has something to do with drifting sport compact car talked a little about it a couple of months ago.

[iredremix]

that's a nice hood.. i've seen this pic before and i've always been wondering if it's any good... anybody know the name of those sexy rims?

[iknospd3]

hey found some more pix of the hood !!!!!

[AG DesignWorks]

I cant tell if it's centered on the hood or not. There's a subtle crease right in the center of the hood above the M, and it looks like the inset scoop lines are centered over that, but i just cant tell. Need more photos.

And i really dont get why companies aren't advertising these parts more openly. If you want them to sell, why are you waiting for forum members to 'discover' tiny photos of the product? It's like that rear diffuser that came out a few weeks ago from DGM...why hide what youre creating?

[nypest]

BBS?

[dparm1984]

That is the fugliest hood ever. Too often are the aftermarket companies not designing something that fits with the rest of the car...they just design something and hope it looks right.

That, and the eyelids look totally ricockulous.

[dkswim]

did you notice the reverse scoops on the back of the hood there are two.

[redrocketz]

[dkswim]

[dkswim]

[AtenzaNY62]

didnt mazda invented hood scoops in the first place, wait some old american muscles probably had hood scoops first.. but i mean the first jap car to use them the 2nd gen turbo2 rx7s

[wisniaPl]

those rims are alt stamina
http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/custom/alt-wheels/AT-235-Titanium-Silver.shtml

[walti]

Nope, they're actually the Bridgestone Avangarade.. only available in Japan.

[wisniaPl]

acha damit....

[DredPir8Roberts]

A quick search shows it spelled both "avangarade" and "avangrade"

the wheels are avangrade "type touring 063"
as originally stated, they don't seem to be listed on any US sites

thanks for finally clearing up the mystery!

edit:
Japanparts has them available, listed as "advangrade type touring 063" in hyper silver and gunmetal:
http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?dealer=&car=&middlesmall=&maker=&volkey=272

~$289 apiece
