I believe DA sells one that is an F-1 style.


I got mine from Australia for $80 shipped unpainted. (cms-raceperformance)

I think the Hempell one is a joke.

Yeah, Why? What is a joke about it? These only weigh 1.2 oz. and are made from fiberglass. These do not break from vibration or melt from heat.

Not the quality. From what I've seen, the quality is great. It's the looks! Looks kinda like a mushroom.......no, maybe a Smurf.
