How long until you have our ZR-1 replica front bumpers?

Preferably in urethane or some other OEM-like material, not glass or carbon fiber.

Any hoods with imperfections that are repairable for a discounted price? I own a collision shop so fit and finish is no problem. I assume no track testing yet. The cooling looks like a big help but concerned with down force.

This hood is awesome. I really like the look of the carbon on white. It’s a mirror image of my car and would look great with all the factory carbon flash I have.

Will install one of my local track Z friend this Sat and will do the next track day to test out everything.

My personal car has gone through a few 150+ mph quick pulls and no strange downforce or movement that I can tell.

No blemished hood to sell at a discount yet.

I couldn’t make it to the track for support for my buddy. So he went there with just my hood and no stock hood to swap out. He said it at he very least didn’t have a negative effect. His temps were good and he took first in his class at Auto Club Speedway here.

First [look] impression is Holy Crap, what is that guy running under that monster hood ?!?!?

Looks great and very innovative. Looks super aggressive AND functional with the additional heat extraction capabilities.

I agree with others who said two side vents vs. three looks more aesthetically pleasing to the eye; just my 2 cents, unsolicited opinion.

Bad *** for sure, and thanks for doing the hard work for the Corvette Z06 community of owners.

The vents are specially placed over no electronic. Water just drain directly down. Driven in multiple heavy storm in SoCal weather and washed regularly. Just don’t spray directly into the vents, spray from front of the car back.
