About $1300 for the Pan Speed hood delivered and it looks like ~$815 for the Atihun hood. Not too bad seeing as how all the other ones are ugly as sin and should be fixed with fire in my opinion.

No. To angular for my tastes. I like the smoother lines that are on the Pan Speed and the Atihun hood. I e-mailed Atihun and am waiting a response. Honestly though I think I'm going to build by own and then make a few fiberglass copies.

I hear you, but its the closest thing to the Pan Speed (without the price tag).

I really like this setup, i guess because its very plain:

I got a chance to see that car at the Indy 500 last year. Your no joking about that hood either.
Its a work of art.

I plan on doing something very similar to this with my Panspeed hood. I'll probably be switching to a Vmount setup with ducting sealed against the hood for the intercooler. Either that or sealed ducting from the radiator, but I'm leaning towards vmount.

that does look very nice.....I wonder if you'd have to modify the Panspeed hood to account for the dimensions of the intercooler?

I'm not sure if I will use my same IC core or not. Chances are I'll sell off my FMIC kit and have a custom core built just for this hood.

That car is looking good. I like the mirrors, just not in body color. I did mine in black to tie into the S4 theme.

I agree. I have thought about grabbing one of the VIS CF ones just for racing as they are so cheap and painting it body color- but swapping hoods is a pain and it is a bit too much for flying under the radar on the streets.

BLUE TII needs scoop badly...

I Like that one too but the vent is a little too small and too far back for my needs. I plan on doing exactely what the Vettes did although my setup is VERY similar to Blue TII's. In fact our intercoolers are in the identical position. I mounted mine to follow the lines of the hood so that I wouldn't need to do some CRAZY ducting like on the Vettes. We shall see though.

no more hoods from me. Done with that. Havoc's hood ended up being a mess. I tried epoxying the underside to the topside, expoxy failed and I went back to the old way and it went downhill from there. That is why I had stopped making them with an underside from that point on period. Design and idea was great, pulling it off was a different story. I still have one left.
