Perfect timing too, i got money ready for this.

When you get a perfect one made up, pm me to sell it to me, i might not see this thread fast enough.

The list won't be starting in this thread but yes since you started the thread i'll let you know when i have the first few hood vents. Howru will be getting the 1st one since he donated the hood vent for me to work off of.

Should be functional at removing heat from the engine bay for those using a FMIC. Im thinking that in theory it will work like a cowl, and air being forced over the vents will pull hot air out?

Could be wrong, but i want one because my scoop is useless.

So far not bad, I may be interested in one since my factory scoop now has two cracks in it.

The front edge of the piece you made looks rounded. Im curious what the front edge looks like from the front, and side when mounted on a hood.

my customer recieved his RE amemiya and can be willing to send it out to be used as a mold for an exact replica if you want to go that route. but he does want one of the replacements as obviously the original will be destroyed during the moulding process.

Sorry it's taking so long, i actually didn't start on the mold yet. I installed the scoop for the first time today and everything looks good and will start the mold this week. Should have the first pieces in 8-12 days.
