The pic is from an FC shot in Japan.
It is most likely a Japan item.
DO YOU HAVE $2,000 FOR SUCH AN ITEM???

that is of course before you pay the shipping and importing fees. I made hoods very similar to that last year. I think I sold three of them.

That leading ridge is used to deflect arflow upwards.
This causes a low pressure area right behind it, and it's this low pressure area that "pulls" airflow from underneath.

I like, and plan on doing much the same.

Any details on the build of your hood.

hehe, then the engine will get wet

But seriously, there will be a mesh cover to prevent things like animals, birds and small children from falling in.

You're looking at around $400 Canadian Dollars. Are you interested in "buying" a hood
