Thanks for all the ideas guys, but we really need to narrow it down to a couple. I also need a hood. If anyone has one I can arrange to get it picked up etc.

In the interest of choosing the most popular (hence best-selling) hood designs, here is another single scoop design:

Yes let's select 2 designs. I have a poll started with 5 selections, please select the one you like best and then we can go with the top 2. No more ideas of other hoods please, there will always be endless ideas, and some will always like another idea better, we have to narrow this down and have a stock hood donated. If these are popular enough maybe he will make other offerings in the future, but let's get this off the ground first.

Steve, is this something that would be off your car (as in you wouldn't need it for a while) Normally, with prototyping, mold making, production etc it can take 3-4 months and as much as 6. It's not a fast process by any means especially since we are making 2.

The car will be off the road for a few months-so this may work. PM me if still interested.

I vote for the ACP style if the extra vents can be moved outboard (over the wheels).

We can make pretty much anything. Let's get a hood made and then if there is interest we can possibly make some new bumpers.

I would be interested, but I need at least a 4" raise to clear my engine. Not sure if everyone else would want something that big though. If could duplicate mine in CF for a reasonable price I would be super interested.

(work in progress. It will be vented also)

Hey guys the hoods have been picked up and are on the way to manufacturing. We have yet to decide what we are doing, or I should say a style we are going to make. Im leaning towards a small cowl on one and some venting and go a little more crazy on the second. Thoughts?

Small cowl with venting would be my pick.

Looking forward to seeing these completed and on the market.
