So I'm wondering what hood and how much its worth does anyone know?

heres the link http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=j...t0051662mm3.jpg

 

You can find that at evasivemotorsports.. It is the Seibon JS Style hood, runs about 725 plus shipping usually but I believe they are holding a summer blow out right now through the group buy section... You can get the J's Racing version which is the Type-S hood from A&J Racing for 1100 plus shipping..

 

J's Racing from Bulletproof Automotive for $1070.

Would definately go for this one before the Seibon, big difference in quality

 

any way to tell if its a replica?

 

The Real J's are 1x1 and it doesn't come with the grill

 

so there is no grill, there is just a hole where the scoops are? and 1x1 is the size of the squares on the hood?

oh also anyone know how difficult/expensive it is to repair a crack on a cf hood?

 

True and not true (I've owned an authentic Type S and currently have an authentic Type V).

The weave is 1x1 on the real deal as Winchaser mentions, but it does come with mesh grills. The grills on the authentic version however are black and not silver (which I believe is what the Seibon knock off comes with).

(For reference, the Type V has no grills )

Support original products and buy the real deal hood. You'll be happier with the purchase over time (due to its higher quality) and you won't be rewarding companies that knock off other manufacturer's hard spent time and money for R&D (therefore encouraging continuted development of new and innovative S2000 modifications).

 

ahh ok. Well its on a car i'm looking to purchase and I'm just trying to see how much I could get for it.. so it would either have to be the actual J's hood or a Seibon?

 

From the looks of the picture it is Seibon (or perhaps some other company has knocked it off), but from the picture it does not appear to be authentic.

 

Ahh ok. Well if I do end up purchasing it I'll try to get better pictures up.
