so youve made them before? were they of diffrent quality? i really like it. i think it could look ok on a stock FC, but it would go together much more with your whole kit

Keep me posted when this gets finished....my OE hood has a dent in it that no body shop will fix (liability) and I like both the look and the price....

Shipping will kill though.......

yes I had a previous design and I could never settle on what exactly i wanted to make until this. Simple and gets the job done and looks nice without too much flash and wont get too much attention from cops without a raised bump.

Damn nice!

Definitely an improvement over the other design.
This thing is hella sexy.

Now just make one with extractor vents on the sides above the turbo and opposite side like the Amemiya hood.

If I didn't have a TMIC I would get that.

I agree.

Until that happens, I'm still saving for the RE-damm expensive-hood...

looks good. Who was talking about a vette? I don't see a vette in any of the pics. I see an eclipse wheel, but no vette.

the vette is under the covers in the first pic i believe. Anyhoots about the vents over the turbo go ahead and get the RE hood if it suits your purpose but most of us dont have that kinda money to blow. $379 is more in the range of what FC owners can mostly afford. But now that I have this pretty much down time to move on to my kit.

Looks great. Most likely exactly what I'd purchase if I decide to go with a v-mount setup over FM.

One question though, why did you decide to split the vent rather then having one continuous line? Was it for aesthetic tastes or for the structural integrity of the hood? Count on my support if I go v-mount!

thanx for the support

. It is more for support as I run my supports underneath all the way from the front to the back down the middle for better structural integrity. And I like the way it looks
