techboy Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 They can be hard to find nowadays and then tend to sell for around 1K - give or take condition. But, they do pop up for sale every now and then. I've had my eye for a few years now, but there hasn't been close enough to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 I looked for one since i got my car in 1999. Found one finally in 2015, I forget what I paid but i paid a premium at the time and drove 9 hours round trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preludedude Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 I was told I was like #18 in line for the 83 CF hood from Janner (Boosted Diamonds). They were $1600+shipping. so who knows how long the wait will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_pat Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Wow I thought the CF hoods were out in circulation already .. And @bruno_TSI did you sell your hood to a guy from Michign who came down and met you in ohio ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I forget the first guy that made them, but i was in that group buy and never got my hood, then i was poor while mookeeh was making them. I found out boosted diamonds made them after i already acquired an oem hood, but everything else I've gotten from Jan has been extremely good (scoop, vents, headlight covers). I wanted to see if he could mold and make my Godzilla Louvers in CF, but I got them shipped courier from Japan for a whopping total of 3g's brand new old stock. He's across the country from me, and I've had too many parts lost or damaged by shipping companies recently to risk it. Most recently USPS managed to damage a Starion taillight i bought that was in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preludedude Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 $2300 seems cheap to me….for a brand new factory 40yo hood. That was only offered for 1 year. Gotta be the only new one left in existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_pat Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) if its not the last one its one of the last ones.. though seems odd he also has a bunch of other used 83 parts up for sale and found this as well .... but there is no image https://www.mitsubishiwholesaleautoparts.com/oem-parts/mitsubishi-hood-mb270052 Edited March 20, 2023 by Mr_pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preludedude Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 The seller is Spenser. He is GTXTHUNDER on these forums. He’s had a few 83s. Sold some whole and parted out others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
