pics - more c/f hood action - any groupbuy udpates?
So has any of the groupbuy for j-spec c/f hoods come through?

What abou the local USA c/f makers, has anyone found a maker for us?
I know the fiberglass guys can make them in their garage easily, can someone make c/f hoods like this?

Use hoodpins or your OEM framing/hoodpins. I like this centered version like below. Yes, you'd need to make your own ducting here to work with a TMIC (top mount intercooler), but WHO CARES - LETS JUST GET SOME MADE!!!!

10 people in a groupbuy is easy, so that should get the price to $600. SOMEONE make the phonecall and lets get going.

A little inspiration from teamfc3s.org

I assume it works w/ the stock TMIC? Not bad, but I kinda like the look of the off-center stock hood.

Seems the teamfc3s admins don't like sharing bandwidth, so here's the pics again from my provider.

Should I call them pussies??

Those wheels look like my Bronze Volk TE-37s, but a larger size than my 16" thus making the spokes look a bit narrower and the angle of the spokes bowing out and back in at the rim lip a little different? Amazing what subtle diffences in size do to shape.

That ***** shot is awsome! Gotta love a soft fuzzy one w/ a nice pink sensitive spot- err nose, that is...
