^^^^Japan.
The one with all the louvers is fairly pointless seeing as the radiator is not at the very front of the car.
Vent/s need to be further back to make a real difference.

I'd like to personally thank all the people who dont like my hood. I know that less people will copy my ideas now.


I'm serious when I say I thank you.

FIBREMAX,

I checked the other link but it seems these vented carbon fiber ones are still not available? Is this correct? When can we order them? Also, there was discussion over the final weight compared to the stock one. What was the final outcome with the weight question?

I also click on your image and it takes me to a log in or post a picture page at imageshack. Something is broken there...

If the vented ones is still months out I might just do what Steve84GS did. But I was hoping for the weight reduction of the carbon fiber.

Maybe if you changed the paint color on that car. I'm thinking pink.

I'm about half way through putting the vent into another steel hood. As soon as it's all faired in will be taking it to be painted them molding from it ASAP after that. If the paintshop isn't too busy should have the mold done in about 3 weeks.
Looking at approx 1/3 weight of steel hood (possibly less) I will also be able to offer C/F hoods in the coloured carbons as well.
