Well first off, they only make a replica of the J's Racing Type-S CFRP Hood. They make a replica that is similar to the J's type V, but it is their Mugen hood. What is the point to make similar hoods that are fake when you make one already similar.

Secondly make sure you know what you are getting they make 3 different versions on the type V which are FRP, CFRP, and full carbon!

PS let me know if you deal falls through I am selling a Type V CFRP.

You can tell a knock off from a real hood. There is a big difference in quality

Real J's hoods have bigger fins for the vents than the mugen/mugen copy.
