I'm down for the Nismo RS hood Jim. Clean and simple and doesn't scream attention at all.

people have been asking for this hood for years. I don't know why you wouldn't sell a boat load of them.

Price...because Mastergrade uses the highest quality materials there prices tend to be higher then most other places. Especially, when it's something taht the customers
could do themselves. Our fiberglass version would be about $625 shipped and Carbon Fiber around $750 shipped.

Has anyone seen an OEM Nismo RS hood? Are the vents smoothed out over the edges.
