I'm looking for a contemporary cobra hood
Hello. I own a Contemporary Cobra in Japan.
I searched in Japan, but I can't find it. Someone posted a hood on a thread, but do you know how to import it to Japan?
I need help from real American Cobra enthusiasts.

Your best bet is to find someone with a Contemporary in Japan and pay someone to take a mold and part from it. That process will probably be worth more than USD $3000.
Alternately (and cheaper), find a Superformance in Japan and compare the basic dimensions. It might be close enough to be adapted. With a little luck, Superformance might sell you one.
I wonder whether there are any panel-beaters in Japan that could make an aluminum one...
Good luck.

Alloy is the way to go! Shipping of the hood will far exceed the part $
Alloy in country better and cost effective.

Off on a tangent here…. are there many other Cobra replicas in Japan?
Good luck with the hood search.
Cheers!

Contact Maurice at Unique. He might be able to give some advice. I also have a friend who owns wipe of an original but he's a little busy.

Just because I'm curious, do you know that CCX number for your car?

If that does not work out, contact "MrBruce" here, as he can produce what you need and should have no issues shipping worldwide.
