the one pic that showed up looks great! especially if it were in fiberglass or CF!!

I'll take one when you're done as long as it's not TOO costly, and as long as its not too heavy.

EDIT: another pic just showed up. it again looks great! how about a pic from the side?

That would be perfect for me! I think ~$500 would be a great price if the quality was decent- I mean, you have to make some $$ right.

And if you have a mold you should offer CF for $100-200 more for all the "ricers"

aight guys im all excited now but the only problem is the crapy pics that YOU guys are happy with but i put a crap coat of primer and now it looks even a thousand times better hell in the pics i have u cant even see the lines and it looks decent now im lookin at the thing and i cant even beleive that i made it...so yes i have pics inside and u can see my buddies marlboros in the reflection....but to answer a few questions and to ask a few......can somone show me how to post these pics in the thread...and to answer this is made for a stock NA or FMIC...BUT....i dont think it would be very hard once i have one in fiberglass to modify it for a TII...only difference would be that the curves on the inside wouldnt be there...the hood would go all the way across the top and then about an inch or so from where the placement is now on the curve before the vent it would have a much more aggressive incline which i think would also look sick in its own right...and yes i think once i have made and sold one or two i can have urs done before the 25th, it shouldnt be a problem and it will be a hell of a lot easier to do once i have one to play with in fiberglass than this steel hood that weighs 1000lbs....and BlueTII im not gonna sell it for 500 ima sel it for $400...im trying to make some dough so i can get married but at the same time this is my own form of self expression.....i guess like art to me...some people sculpt naked ladies, yet i decide to sculpt RX7s.......much more pristine and beautiful...plus naked ladies cant throw you around a curve at 80 miles an hour and still stick to the road -

very nice man how long till you have a finished product in CF or fiber glass?

That price sounds very appealing
