Default Replica J's Type V hood?

I see a lot of people with the J's Type V hood....are they all ballers that pay over a grand for a hood? (they could be, b/c they are usually on very nice cars) or is there a company that makes a replica? All i see are Mugen replicas....thanks!

I've never seen a type V hood replica from seibon or vis or any company in the us . almost all the guys I know run the original or the first molding brand!

the seibon type v is a mugen replica. You have to look closer because the J's racing vent is wider at the ends.

heres a better pic:

Because the J's and Mugen hoods are so similar, there's no point for Seibon or VIS to make another replica that competes with what they already copied from Mugen.

Yeah, that's exactly what i figured...but i've seen so many out that i thought there might be a company that did a replica.

I guess they're all just ballers!

Replica's they suck... I got the the type v hood and I think the quality is great. There is no comparision with the fitment.
