What hood is this? Been looking looking for something like this in FRP!

That is not an Amuse hood. The vent is way to far back, and the shape of the vent is much to bulky and angular to be an Amuse hood. That hood's design is more reminiscent of the original J's hood without the piece in the center of the vent, but again it's still placed to far back on the hood.
If I had to guess it's an "Amuse style" hood from VIS, Seibon, or one of those companies... which I've always thought funny. They call it Amuse style but it looks nothing like an Amuse hood.
Edit: It doesn't look like it's Sebion or VIS (That's going by the pictures they have on their sites). Try PM'ing the OP to see where he got it from.

Yea the hood is not an amuse. FEEZY has it close. It looks nothing close to the amuse hood but is shaped from the front only like the js hood without the middle piece in the vent. The opening of the vent is completely much smaller than the amuse one too.
I picked it up from a local guy who was selling it for $100 and since I was having extreme heating issues under the hood during hot days I bought it. I'm currently looking for an authentic Top Secret hood but this one will hold me up in the mean time. As for the brand I'm not sure, it has no tag or any identification of any sort. It's not VIS or Seibon though, they look different too.
P.s. Even though it's a replica, the hood has served its purpose of cooling under the hood temps by a lot. If anyone knows of someone selling an authentic top secret hood though please PM me.
