Maybe you should change the mold to allow for a flat surface near the hood to mount insolation foam on?

That looks really good. I would agree that a small lip at 90 degrees to the sides would be nice to have to attach a foam "gasket" to get a seal to the hood. I like it though. Nice work!!

I have seen closely the work of this cold airbox that rx-7fc intalled on his car . It looks sweet and the carbon fiber look is better than the firberglass look that I have.

I believe he working on it, trying to figure what material you is going to use. I spoke with him and compared it to the one I have. Its Identical.
