DarkKnightFC, PM'd you.

 

Zach, any progress?

I also would like to know the exact dimensions of the vent opening. thanks

 

just wondering what the good will be made of, and what it might weigh.

 

The hood will be made out of fiberglass, and we won't have an exact weight until after the first one comes out of the mold. However, we expect it to be VERY light in comparison to the stock hood.

RexRyder, the main vent is 23" wide X 5.75" long with a .75" - 1.00" lip up on the front side of the vent. If there are other dimensions that you are concerned with please PM me and I'll get the info for you if I don't already have it. Thanks.

Zach

 

yall need to get this thing done...my 7 told me last night that she expects a new hood for my birthday...and its getting closer...

 

Not to worry Rob. The prototype will be ready for molding by the end of the week. And we should have hoods available for sale in less than a month! Plus, the hoods will be available at Rotary Fest in San Fran June 24th.

Hmmm...If only I had a front mount..I'll try to get one soon =P

 

Or N/A, or a V-mount. I know that there is a forum member in Phoenix, AZ that is within a week from having an FC specific V-mount radiator and IC kit for sale. Just a heads up though.

Zach

 

How is that a 'reverse' vent? Looks like a regular mid-hood vent, as opposed to a scoop.

 

Reverse vent, drop vent, etc. There are several used names for this type of hood. I just chose one of them. Maybe I should've just said vented hood.

 

we should put one on my car...to...umm...showcase how well they fit a NA with koyo rad and electric fan setup...and for real world proof that they work great on NAs too

 

You gimme money!! I got your PM by the way Rob and am talking with Mael about it. I'll be sure to let you know when I have an answer.

Zach

 

hmm I'll do this deal too!! Along with those camber/caster plates you were talking about. I can beat on them jus gimme a track

 

Hey zach what is the pricing gonna look like? Is there a possibility of a CF version? I sent you a PM about somethin else too.

 

PM answered. And we don't have a final price yet. That is the one reason why we haven't been asking for any money. I hope to have a final price before the end of this weekend. I'll keep everyone posted.

Zach

 

No CF Love?

 

awesome...its just an idea i wanted to run by ya...we're doin my whole car up for the 24th...

 

I'd get it for my N/a, but that's a lost cause. =( V-mount would take too much time/money for me right now. It's one of my two cars, (n/a one doesn't work) and I'm still in school, great thinking though =P

 

CF isn't a yes or a no as of yet. It all depends on the demand for it. You know?

p4nc7, I hear ya.

 

Damnit am I the only one that wants a CF vented hood that doesn't look as hideous as the Dmax hood?

*edit*
Or am I the only FC owner that can afford a CF hood?

 

Choice #2 FTW!!!!

 

PM'ed again.

 

Answered your PM Andrew.
