Aluminum Hood for 2.5rs
Does anyone know if it is possible to get one of these hoods. If so where and how much. I was thinking about getting a seibon carbon fiber hood, but just looking for other options as well.

I've heard there is one company in Japan that makes the CF RS hood. It's on that RWD D1 Drift STi. Pick up any super street and your see it. Sorry can't remeber the company name.

There are like a million companies that make GC8 CF hoods in Japan. All of them are brand name so be prepared to pay a premium. 
If you need one and willing to spend 500-800 depending on make and style, hit me up.

The GC WRX stock aluminum hood can be purchased at www.rallispec.com.
They don't have them listed, but can get them. Lower $400 range IIRC, comes primed.

The 05' RS saves even more weight going from Our Stock hoods to the WRX/STi Aluminum hoods. 40-50lbs I beleive, I could be wrong though.
I swapped over to a WRX hood for FREE. You get a much more crisp steering sensation.
