Already asked and they denied my request. They don't want anything to do with Asuka anymore, sorry.

On a good note, we are making the mold to the Amuse hood tomorrow. Expect the first hood VERY soon.

Bit pricey but if the quality is far better than Seibon, I would buy it.

making an 07 version of the hood by any chance, not sure if I saw the bulge or it's just a bad angle to see it. Nice progress on the hood, would definately pay for that if it fits on an 07
