(Prototype)

10 Reasons why ours better then the rest?
1. Because our cut outs for the rubber bump stops are circular, not square.. Go figure, it makes sense!
2. Our A/C cut out, its designed around the A/c, not just a huge cut out.
3. Our fitment is spot on so you dont need to have ugly screws holding it in place, this is suppose to clean up the look too, right?
4. "We'll Benny, what if it vibrates or moves around, blah blah blah,"-- Read the above comment Chief, need not worry, ITS ALSO MAGNETIC.
5. YUP, We teamed up Billy Nye the Science guy and we embedded tiny neodymium magnets on the back to be 100% sure it wont move around, Step yo nerd game up foo'
6. Unfortunately they are still made by an Asian sweat shop laborer, but at least hes locked up in a garage in NJ, THUS, MADE IN USA Wahooo!
7. Its CLEAR COATED, not those "UV RESISTANT gel coat" that will yellow and fade over time.
8. Because I said so.
9. Because we're awesome.
10. Because it comes with a free hug if you pick up!

Base panels will come with cut outs for the hood latch, rubber bump stops, and notch for hood prop.
Fiberglass 175
Carbon Fiber 240

cut out options- Add $5 Each cut
A/c cut out
Greddy FMIC IC pipe cut out

We should have at least a prototype at Sevenstock and will begin production after we return from SS. We'll update this when they officially release

Awesome!

We're looking for at least 10 people to begin production. Once we have reached 10 buyers we will take deposits of $50 (non refundable since they will be custom made for your application) or full payments. shipping should be right around $15

Please specify CF or FG, and if you would like to add the A/C or Greddy FMIC piping cut out

So I finally got around to doing another test fit on a different car. Just confirmed the Greddy FMIC cut out is good =)

**Note the cooling plate is not properly seated in these pics dude to the car having some stuff in the way under the cooling plate-- these were just taken to confirm the FMIC cutout location!

Carbon Fiber sample (note our prototype picture on top is NOT clear coated hence why its lacking that liquid luster<3)

I'll be heading out of the country next week for a month so I'm going to begin production Mid February regardless how many people are on the list, at that time full payments must be made to have yours made (Since each panel will be cut specific to your set up)

I'm not sure but the cooling plate rests on the frame rail on the sides of the headlights. If the Ic duct sits lower then those rails it will work. If not, it will require trimming/cutting

I like this too and have wanted one of these for sometime now. Only issue is my engine bay is not very standard at all. Will these be custom to a setup or a somewhat generic template?

Str8ryd, We provide cut out for the most common set ups (greddy fmic, a/c) but we can make blank ones as well so you can customize it to your own set up!

I do not have one in my possession so I cannot confirm, however, if it sits below the frame along the side of the headlights, it will fit!
