+1 for Dltreezan's hood being used as a mold. That thing is perfect.

PS your hood rocks, single vent not flashy, i vote for that to be the mold or for the hood to look like that

that would be nice if dltrezans hood was used for a mold. the hood pictured above is too curvy for me it doesnt match one line on the Fc its clearly and fd hood grafted to fit an fc. dltrezzan's rocks!!!

i was thinking of doing something like this hood.......put a vent the same way in the same spot and an identical vent(or maybe a small scoop) right above the passenger's side headlight for a CAI.........I have yet to find NICE looking vents......

I'd be willing to bet that Dave will be incorporating the "turbo vent" into this new hood. If you read his post he mentions the main hood vent and then putting another vent towards the back of the hood. I am thinking/hoping he meant this turbo vent that everyone is going so crazy about.

Is there any chance that this hood will fit over a 20B?

Yes it is one of the vent styles we are looking at using.

Dltreezan, hurry up and finish your second version of the hood. Make some cash lol. Yeah I like the single or dual large vents like the one molehill posted. I think Dltreezan is making one like that too. I just want to have fairly big vents. I need a lot of airflow. Just really want a CF one made by Dave. I saw one and fell in love with it and then I saw the video of him running it over in that F-350
