Answer: Porsche GT-1. Anyone have a pic they can post?
Pretty much identical.

Yeah, it's an @ss to tell huh due to the color. In regards to the blue fd again, it appears that it has the gt-c sideskirts and front fender flares and no rear flares. The front is definetially the c-west n1, but it also has the cf fins on the side. Wonder where to purchase those...

Thats the MBAutosport front bumper, only $250!!! They call it "FEED Style" even though it is nothing like the FEED bumper. The fit appears to be excellent, especially for the cost. The lip is molded into the bumper and its all fiberglass. FWIW the design is simply a '99 spec knockoff with the license holder taken out, and then a Veilside lip molded to the bottom. Interesting combination and looks pretty good but I would worry about it cracking the first time I go up my driveway, too low for my taste...

Curious about that myself... The design of the hood wouldn't be the best way of letting the air flow to the radiator escape... A Ultma GTR style hood would be the way they would want to go. Also what would the center vent do for it?

It depends on whether you have a fiberglass hood of a carbon-fiber one really. CF is so damn light that hood pins would be the best way to go. Fiberglass, well, do as you like.

I don't understand that hood
It does look aggressive and gets attention. Damn, that Porsche GT! gave me an instant cargasm
!
I tried to figure out that center scoop and someone just mentioned the same thing downforce, since it's a closed tunnel unlike the scoop for the Viper.
The rain is no problem when you are driving, the engine would never get wet. It's when you are parked that would be the problem.

This one to me looks like one of the best FD's ive ever seen.. Kinda made me think of the badmobil when i first saw it. Nicely done car.
Even though i think this car looks nice i think that the scoot hood is TOO much on a stock car. IMHO you need everything to really make it look nice, although the pic of the car with just the c-west front end and the hood looked very nice.

hey guys, thats my black fd. Thanks for all the compliments i really appreciate it 
my hood is from the rotaryextreme buy, and i recieved it in may. but it is glass, so maybe you are refering to the carbon fiber. or maybe that was a really old post. thanks again, scott
