Reverse cowl hood group buy, first pics on a widebody
 

Here ya go

shit, where the hell did you get that hood? I want it!

i love the hood. but im also the guy that keeps callin you about the parts too. i live in RP and your car is coming alot nicley ic.

next

is it funtional?

Hood is available now, no wait, contact Attilla. The info is listed in the group buy section, I only had to concieve it, organize it, front the money, and wait nearly a year for mine, but you can buy one now, no waiting LOL. I'm not bitter, really I'm not ;) Fitment is good, quality is very good, I will enlarge the vents though. It's not as mean looking as the stocker IMHO, but much more functional. Carl

Total, you posted while I was typing, it is completely functional, I will try and post a better pic of the vents.

WOW!! That looks awesome.

I wish someone made one for FB's:(

BTW" Did you make that lip your self?

Yes, the lip is a sheet of 3/16 Aluminum cut w/a body saw.

how much does the hood weigh? Fiberglass I assume?

Carl, are you going to be capable of taking passengers? If so I would pay you for a ride dude, that car is my favorite FC excluding the IMSA GTO cars.

I did not weigh the hood, it feels a little lighter than the aluminum one. J200, I will have two seats, with Harnesses, you are welcome to ride along any time. I will be running every NASA event at Thunderhill, and Sears starting mid may. Carl
FWIW there are alot of very nice FCs(much cleaner than mine) out there, but I am trying to do a one off with this, so thanks.

Sweet, one of my friends sugested taking a school at Thunderhill, so if I ever get my RX7 done I will hopefully see you this summer.

:drool1: :drool: :bowdown: I'm in love with your car, GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!:asthanos: :devil:


Please?:D

Is the hood functional with the stock TMIC?

No.

beautiful. one word. can't wait to see it completed.

The hood can absolutely be made functional with a TMIC(mounted forward of the stock location, ALA Blue TII, or CARX7), but you would need to open the vents up JDM style. Most of the hoods in Japan with a TMIC are just a big hole in the hood. The advantage of this hood over any other style for TMICs is that the cut-out is only visible from above not the sides. This hood was designed with function being the primary concern, and it fulfills that goal nicely. Carl

My final design will utilize vertical fences attached to the bottom of the hood to help direct air out the vents, this in combination with "boxing" the radiator/ oil cooler/IC will give me plenty of flow to keep everything cool.

looks pretty mean, carl. :)

can't wait to see it painted (and can't wait to see some taped hot laps, either :D)

ah Carl.. you didnt call me! Hood looks nice I'm assuming mine also came in okay with yours? :)

I did call you, check your voicemail on your cell, Let's nail down the ICs this weekend, and get them ordered.

Hmmm didnt get anything.. no voicemail too.. ah well :) Yeah call me tonight or tomorrow and we'll order the IC's :)

Mine are on the way!!!!! :)

He asked about the stock TMIC, which will not work with that hood.
