Well at least this proves which one you are in your own quote "The strong move quiet, the weak start riots."

If possible, please post your assessment after you have installed the kit. Im very interested to hear how the final pieces fit. I remember seeing an older post showing some of the issues with an earlier prototype and Im wondering if the problems have been corrected. Pictures and/or a quick write up would be awesome.

Cheers.

Has anyone else gotten their kit besides eoph? If he's the only one, why was there only one kit made so far? Any updates on fitment eoph?

Tim, we actually thought that you wanted to wait until the completion of the GT wing GB since you put down a deposit for that as well. pmed you regarding the current status of your kit! Sorry about the late update!

BTW, for everyone who is waiting on the hood. The new shipment arrived couple days ago and now we are waiting for a chance to get them test fitted before we can ship them out. We will arrange the test fit asap and will contact those who have been patiently waiting once they are ready to ship. Thank you very much for your patience!

Yep, you are correct. I'll wait for the wing to get done and hopefully save some on shipping. Thanks for the update

Here is the fitment pic for the new hood. The hood was just placed on the car with no bolts installed. They are ready to ship now so we will contact those who have been waiting for them and again, we apologize for the long delay and hope you like the product!

Can you guys put the hood on a stock FD (stock fender and bumper)?

If anyone remember the test fits we performed on our last batch hoods, we test fitted the same hoods on both this widebody and a LS1 stock bodied FD and the gap distance was identical. So we can guarantee that this batch hoods no longer have the fitment issues and are good to go. We have taken so much precaution ever since the beginning of this project and would never ship out these hoods if we are not confident with the current fitment.

Plus, we are confident with the fitment of our bumpers and widebody fenders since we have 3 sets of these CF kits installed right in front of us and two of these kits are currently competing in races so we can guarantee the fitments as well.

Of course, we will eventually have one of these hoods installed on a stock bodied FD but it's just a matter of time as of now due to our current project schedules.

Kevin, the hood looks great. You guys have done a great job with this kit. I'm really pleased with the A+ customer service you guys have, and now fitment/quality that has only exceeded my expectatitons.

I'm going to have to pick a hood up if I can ever get to your house at a reasonable hour. j/k

We emailed you once couple weeks ago to confirm your current shipping address but it seems like the email never reached you. I will email you again right now! Sorry about the inconvenience!

What's the weight difference between the carbon one and the fiber one? Do you have these made now?

Also, do you have OEM carbon fiber fenders?

For the hood, there is about a 2-3 lbs weight difference between CF and FRP. Yes, we do have the hoods in stock and ready to ship.

Sorry, we do not have OEM CF fenders as of now.

Please feel free to contact us via email or pm if you have any other questions!

Does the hood require latches for high speeds or is it sturdy enough?

Due to the fact that FD only has one center hood latch, it is highly recommended to install extra hood latches for all FRP or CF hoods.

Do you sell these and can they come pre-installed?

We do not offer pre-installation of hood latches because there are slight variations in installation positions depending on the setup and personal preferences. It is the best for you to bring your car and hood to a local body shop and have them install the latches with the hood on the car.
