From the front, the white vert with clean hood just looks so damn sweet.

I know this maybe a stupid question but is there anyway that you could do one with that red carbon fiber? That would look so freaking awesome on my Red TII and it would be totally unique!
I have heard some people say that the red carbon fiber is crappy...but I figure the way you do it the red carbon fiber may work....hell its mainly a look good mod and if it was red it would rule!

Dave, have you thought of selling a "shiny" CF hood? You know, where you take the hoods to a shop and they wet sand/clear coat them?
Add like $45 to the price of the hood so lazy asses like myself just have to bolt it on and start waxing it...
Does that make any sense? I think most people want a turnkey product.

Darn and I was hoping for a red one Maybe if the idea picks up you can do it...but I understand why you won't right now.
How much does shipping on these cost? If you ship something like this Greyhound it will actually not to bad. I am guessing around $50-75 via Greyhound

Yo,
Yeah Dave, quit going berserk on my ***! *grin* I apologize for pushing your "No good lazy bastards on the Forum" button. Heh.
Relax...go stare in the mesmorizing dance of light on the myriad strands of carbon in your hood....*wink*

The man busts his ***, puts out a high quality product and SOME of you people still aren't satisfied. Do us all a favor, if you don't like it: KEEP YOUR YAP **** or better yet:
sell your 7 and go buy a HONDUH CIBBIC so you can buy a 250 CF hood.

I didn't mean to sound off this morning, but I am sick (flu) so I am not myself. Especially as much as we have had to work lately (rain really messes up phones, and am a splicer for the phone company) Anyway, no hard feelings to anyone, and I apologize for coming off rough. Those that know me (I figure one or two of you guys out there) know that it isn't my style.
I still won't clearcoat them, nor will we do any other colors at this time regardless of how sorry I am These are just what I said I was going to make...STOCK hoods in carbon fiber, nothing more, nothing less.
Now you guys, as well as us see why no one else has made these for FC's. You can only give so much without getting something in return before you reach your breaking point. My pockets aren't lined with gold to make custom one off pieces for free like we (including myself) would like. It just isn't a reality. BTW, our oil pedestals are finished
Oh yeah, if you guys hadn't heard (if you aren't on our fc3s email list) we are making calendars for 2003 with all FC's in it

Hoods look great man.
1 quick question, what is the weight and what is the weight difference between those and a steel NA hood?
good job man, thanks.
BTW I will be getting one soon

Well we looked at the final hood Monday, and we are having them do some modifications to it. The final lay of the CF on the mold didn't come out very well on the scoop area and it didn't have the perfect look we are after. We will have to black out the scoop with black gel coat to make it look right. We looked at some different options and that will have to be the way it comes. I think it will look really good with an all CF hood and a black scoop on a black CF weave. As soon as he gets one done with the new changes we will have pics for you all.
